6.2. 2D DISPLAY
The 2D Display represe nts the beam’s intensity in two dimensions. False coloring is added to increase
the contrast. The color legend used for the various intensity levels is available in the main control ribbon
(refer to section 4.7.1). The 2D display also features the crosshairs (set to the major and minor axis or
along specified angles).

To optimize the software’s performance, the resolution of the 2D image is downsampled when the
Beamage-3.0 is streaming. Nonetheless, the computation is done on all transferred pixels. For images
larger than 1000x1000 only 1/16 pixels are displayed, for images larger than 500x500 only 1/4 pixels are
displayed and for smaller images all pixels are displayed. When the Beamage-3.0 is stopped or in the
animate mode, all pixels are always displayed regardless of the image size.
