Chapter 4 DISPLAY WINDOWS
4.1 Main Window
You will probably want to run the LBA-PC application main window in its maximized display size. This
will allow you to cram as much information as possible onto your display. We recommend that you
operate in a minimum 1024x768 mode, larger if your graphics hardware and monitor will support it.
The Main Window is divided into 5 regions. They are laid out from top to bottom and are designated
as:
1. Title Bar: Here you’ll find the Product ID, the version level, and the copyright. Also the familiar
maximize-minimize arrows and the close task button. The current configuration file name is also
shown here.
2. Menu Bar: To gain access to the various operational and setup menus, click on the drop down
items; File, Options, Pass/Fail, Window, and Help. To enable Ultracal! processing, an
AutoExposure! cycle, or to Start! and Stop! data acquisition, click on these action menu items.
3. Toolbars: The number and types of toolbars that can appear is as many as three and as few as
none. The number of toolbars is a user selectable option. The types of tools that they contain
are partly programmable by the user.
4. Child Window area: This largest region is where the child windows of the LBA-PC application will
appear. Three of these child windows can be resized, and all can be minimized. The possible
child windows are:
• The Beam Display window
• The Results Display window
• The Pan/Zoom Display window
• The Tilt/Rotate Display window
• The Histogram Display window
5. Status Bar: Indicates various status information regarding the above displays.
6. Beam Stability: The Beam Stability Window is not actually a part of the Main Window. When
activated it launches a totally separate application window that can be manipulated independent
from the Main LBA-PC application.
4.2 The Beam Display Window
You can view your laser beam profile in either a 2D or 3D display format. You can resize this window
and minimize it. The top title bar in this child window will indicate the displayed <Frame> number.
