With LBA-FW, connecting multiple FireWire cameras is a snap. LBA-FW facilitates synchronizing the cameras in order to capture single events simultaneously from several locations. Allow the event to trigger the cameras, or setup a corresponding external trigger. Ultracal sets the baseline precisely. Beam width calculations become the most accurate.With the baseline set too low, laser wings are clipped off in the A/D converter. Calculated beam widths are now too small. With the baseline set too high, the algorithm interprets the baseline as wings in the laser beam. Calculated beam widths are now...

User-selectable Z-axis scaling > When the signal is too weak to adequately display on the screen, Z-axis scaling recovers the detail that cant be readily seen. In addition, Z-axis scaling allows you to examine energy in the wings of a beam even if the peak signal was large enough for normal display. Since beam data is stored in raw form, Z-scaling can be applied whether recording the beam live or analyzing data by post-processing days later. Viewed at 1x, the Z-axis provides little detail (left). At 8x the weak signal can now be examined easily (right). Without Ultracal, the DC baseline offset...
