The Maximum Intensity Profile Mode (MAX)
In this mode the position of the maximum intensity of laser beam profile is calculated. The
result includes the position value of the maximum (P
MAX
) as well as the maximum intensity
value (I
MAX
).
The calculation of position value is performed with simple pixel accuracy, i.e. the
evaluation of 1088 rows delivers a position range from 0 to 1087 pixels (11 bit). If there is
more than one local maximum (e.g. when the intensity is saturated), the position of the
first detected maximum is output. In order to avoid intensity saturation, it is recommended
to activate the Multiple Slope Mode of the camera.
The detection of the maximum intensity position can be improved by enabling the
smoothing mode of the FIR filter of the camera.
