The FIR Peak Mode (FIR PEAK)
In this mode the first derivative of the intensity Gauss curve of laser beam profile is
calculated.
The position of zero-crossing of first derivative is detected and output with subpixel
accuracy (up to 6 subpixels). In this case the threshold AOI_TRSH is used to detect the first
rising edge of the derived intensity signal. Valid values of AOI_TRSH range from 513 to 1023
(Mono16).
More details regarding the operation of the FIR Peak mode can be found in
a separate application note.
