During laser cavity tuning, the 2D Beam Display window becomes a valuable tool.
This beam profile shows the energy distribution across the laser beam. Changes in the
laser mode, optics, and beam energy can often be first observed here. Separate real-
time results list appear in the Results window. Prior M
2
results are retained for
comparison purposes.
Press the icon when it is green to start Real Time M
2
. Press the icon when it is red to stop.
If the tuning operation continues for a long period of time, the camera baseline calibration may drift
and cause errors in the results.
