3.2.9.3.4Increment Bins and Reset

The centroid scatter-plot is also a histogram of the centroid location. The color bar between the Peak and Centroid plots provides the user insight about centroid location/frequency. Colors in the upper part of the bar indicate higher frequencies.

When running, the user will notice that blocks of data points have the same color. These blocks of color represent the binning of the histogram. The program, based on the range of data being presented, automatically defines the bin size.

If the user desires to decrease the size of the bins, simply click the Inc Bins button and the bins will be divided in half both vertically and horizontally creating 4 bins out of each existing bin. Bin size will be decreased when the program collects the next data point, and previously plotted points will be re-plotted with respect to the new bin size. If the Pointing Stability program is paused, the change will not take place until the program is started and the next data point is collected.

Using this tool, the user can easily create their own palettes, or modify the standard palettes provided with Spiricon products.

The Spiricon Palette Generation program ( c:\Spiricon\LBAPC\PALETTEGEN2.EXE ) is shown below. This program is very easy to use once a few concepts are understood. This program can be launched independently via the Windows Start button, or from within the LBAPC application as follows: From the Options menu select Create Palette…, the following window will appear:
