Optimize
Optimize button—Begins a multi-phase optimization routine when pressed. Use
this routine if the laser power drops off from the nominal value.
This routine takes several minutes to complete. During the operation, the button is
grayed out and progress is indicated by the green bars below the button. When
finished, both bars are green and Optimize Complete appears above the bars.
Although the output power of the laser is reduced in
Align mode (to about 200 mW), the beam is NOT safe
for your eyes! Always wear proper eye protection!
