Chapter 4 DISPLAY WINDOWS

4.1 Main Window

You will probably want to run the LBA-PC application main window in its maximized display size. This will allow you to cram as much information as possible onto your display. We recommend that you operate in a minimum 1024x768 mode, larger if your graphics hardware and monitor will support it.

The Main Window is divided into 5 regions. They are laid out from top to bottom and are designated as:

1.Title Bar: Here you’ll find the Product ID, the version level, and the copyright. Also the familiar maximize-minimize arrows and the close task button. The current configuration file name is also shown here.

2.Menu Bar: To gain access to the various operational and setup menus, click on the drop down items; File, Options, Pass/Fail, Window, and Help. To enable Ultracal! processing, an AutoExposure! cycle, or to Start! and Stop! data acquisition, click on these action menu items.

3.Toolbars: The number and types of toolbars that can appear is as many as three and as few as none. The number of toolbars is a user selectable option. The types of tools that they contain are partly programmable by the user.

4.Child Window area: This largest region is where the child windows of the LBA-PC application will appear. Three of these child windows can be resized, and all can be minimized. The possible child windows are:

•The Beam Display window

•The Results Display window

•The Pan/Zoom Display window

•The Tilt/Rotate Display window

•The Histogram Display window

5.Status Bar: Indicates various status information regarding the above displays.

6.Beam Stability: The Beam Stability Window is not actually a part of the Main Window. When activated it launches a totally separate application window that can be manipulated independent from the Main LBA-PC application.

4.2 The Beam Display Window

You can view your laser beam profile in either a 2D or 3D display format. You can resize this window and minimize it. The top title bar in this child window will indicate the displayed <Frame> number.
