pulse duration must be rotated past the 2500 ms setting. "cw" will be displayed. The "cw" setting is only available for power
outputs of 500 mW or less.
The interval
can, depending on the power and pulse duration, be varied between 100 and 6000 ms.
To change the aiming beam intensity
, the aiming beam can be switched on in STANDBY mode by touching the
button.
The spot size can be adjusted on the slit lamp, depending on treatment and power, within the range 50 to 1000 µm.
These parameters can be configured in STANDBY or READY modes.
