Slit Beam Profiler Application changelog

V1.0 Oct-14-2005

Initial release
V1.1 Jan-20-2006

- Message title "USERPOWER_POPUP_TITLE" corrected

- Actual power for user power calibration corrected

- Zoom and pan also applicable to vertical scale

- Variable clip level instead two fixed

- 2D graph configuration panel added including

- vertical logarithmic scale

- marking of maximum positions (centroid or peak)

- maximum autocenter function

- marking of zero and clip level

- settable zoom

- 3D graph configuration including

- top view default

- zoom

- contour

- VISA, Driver and Firmware version check at program start

- Larger font for selected parameter value

- Rolling average implemented

- Display of selected parameter with 6 decimal digits if peak power < 0.01

- Beam width correction for 13.5% clip level added

- M² measurement added

- BP parameter structure and display extended

- Pass/Fail panel and functionality added

- Printing capability added

- Bug removed: Display text was 'Centroid' overwritten by 'Peak Power'

- Pass/Fail test result also visible in main panel

- Beam quality designator k changed to K

- Support of UV Beam Profiler BP104-UV and BP109-UV

- Separate man/auto switches for gain, bandwidth and offset settings

- Bug fix: M2 measurements accepts now wavelengths out of Beam Profiler range for calculation

- M2 divergence unit changed from rad into mrad

- M2: in case of very low divergence (parallel beam) a linear fit is done automatically

- M2: a hyperbolic fit (with lens) and a successive linear fit (w/o. lens) can be combined to an approximation of the unfocussed beam

- Implementation of DataSocket data transfer for BP and M2 results

- Support for Windows Vista

- Adjustable 'Field of View' for 3D graph, displays small beams at high resolution

- Manual updated with M

V2.4 Jun-04-2009

- Support of new models BP104-IR2 and BP109-IR2

- Settable wavelength range for BP and M2 extended

- Fonts changed for better readability on Japanese OS

- For M2: Power unit switches to 'mW' if it was 'digit' before -> prevents erroneous beam diameter readings
V2.5 Jun-05-2009 - internal release

- Calibration panel does not close after offset value calibration - this is fixed.

- Modifications to cope with VXIpnp driver V2.4.

- USB drivers signed to support installation on Windows VISTA / 7 systems.

- Instrument driver files included in distribution package.
V2.8 Jun-02-2010

- Bug removed: missing analysis support added to distribution kit

- Corrected printer icon
