It is suggested to not exceed 1000 frames.
Global Settings:
The “Global Settings” apply to all generator tracks.
“Number of Frame Points” determines the number of points of the wave (of one
frame).
“Frames per Second” adjusts the frame rate for the. This value can be changed later
as well by adjusting the “Frames per Second”, see chapter 6.4.6. If the warning
“Framecount >1000” is shown, reducing the frame rate to e.g. 30 may solve the
problem of creating too many frames.
Activating “Draw x from left to right” creates a horizontally oriented wave (used in
the example shown in Fig. 71).
Activating “Draw y from top to bottom” creates a vertically oriented wave.
Both options activated results in a diagonally oriented wave. If one of the options is
chosen, then all amplitudes assigned to the other axis are ignored.
“Normalize Color Values (to 255)” sets the color values to at least have one of the
laser sources in the laser operate at full power – this increases the visibility of the
colors, but may change the color shade a bit.
The “Shutter” cleaves the waves to beams. The wave consists of many single beams
following the course of the wave without having any links in between the points.
The button “Apply” starts the calculation of the wave and imports it to the Figure
Table as figure 0. There it can be modified further (e.g. by applying morphing to get
a smoother output) and saved to the hard disk.
The button “Preview” (toggles to “Stop” if Preview is active) displays a simulation of
the created wave in the preview area. Another click on the button stops the
simulation.
The button “Reset” resets all values.
The button “Load Values” allows for loading previously saved generator settings.
The button “Save Values” allows for saving wave generator settings.
