Beam Density

Sparse 

(See Figure 5-3) Each law is an increment on the linear sweep and on the angle sweep. This 
means that the exit point moves and the refracted angle changes between each laws.  The angle 
range, defined by 

Start Angle

 and 

Stop Angle

, is evenly distributed over all exit points.  

Therefore the angular resolution is automatically set by dividing the angular range by the total 
number of apertures. 
Motion of the aperture is defined by the 

Aperture

First Element

 and 

Last Element

 parameters.
