Start the GUI
The Graphics User Interface (GUI) is started by running the program wfs.exe
in the 'Program Files \ Thorlabs Wavefront Sensor' folder by using either the
Wavefront sensor icon on the desktop or from the START menu selecting
the "All Programs" "Thorlabs Wavefront Sensor" "Thorlabs Wavefront
Sensor" entry.
'Thorlabs WFS_Receiver' is a demo program to show the transfer of
measurement data to a customer's application that will receive the live data
stream.
'License Agreement' will display the License Agreement and 'User Manual'
will open the Wavefront Sensor Operating manual using the Adobe
Acrobat® Reader.
'Thorlabs Wavefront Sensor' is the application program, click on this entry
and the Wavefront Sensor software will start with the following dialog box.
If there is no entry to be seen, click on 'Refresh' to update the list of available
Wavefront Sensor instruments. If there is still no instrument displayed please refer to
the Troubleshooting chapter.
You can also operate two or more Thorlabs Wavefront Sensors at the same time on
the same computer by starting the application software again. In this case, mark the
desired instrument in the list and press 'Select' or just double-click the entry.
An instrument which is already in use is marked correspondingly and cannot be
opened as long as the appropriate application was not finished.
