<\/p>\n
For the SuperGaus pattern, there are only two parameters:<\/p>\n
- \n
- FWHM X<\/strong> – the full width at half max in the x direction<\/li>\n
- LargeNumX<\/strong> – defines the shape of the gaussian. If you increase LargeNumX, the peak becomes broader and the sides steeper.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nHermite:<\/h3>\n
![\"image004\"](\"http:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/milster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2016\/08\/image004.jpg\")
<\/p>\nHermite Parameters:<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- FWHM X<\/strong> – Full width at half max in the x-direction<\/li>\n
- FWHM Y<\/strong> – Full width at half max in the y-direction<\/li>\n
- Hermite X<\/strong> – The order of the hermite polynomial in the x-direction<\/li>\n
- Hermite Y<\/strong> – The order of the hermite polynomial in the y-direction<\/li>\n
- Angle<\/strong> – Rotates the final pattern (degrees)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nMix-And-Match:<\/h3>\n
![\"image006\"](\"http:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/milster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2016\/08\/image006.jpg\")
<\/p>\nMix-And-Match Parameters<\/strong><\/p>\n
- \n
- X Pattern<\/strong> – May select Exponential, Gaussian, or SuperGaussian<\/li>\n
- Y Pattern<\/strong> – May select Exponential, Gaussian, or SuperGaussian<\/li>\n
- FWHM X<\/strong> – Full width at half max in the x-direction<\/li>\n
- FWHM Y –<\/strong> Full width at half max in the y-direction<\/li>\n
- Radius<\/strong> – Controls the radius<\/li>\n
- LargeNum<\/strong> – defines the shape of the gaussian. If you increase LargeNumX, the peak becomes broader and the sides steeper.<\/li>\n
- Angle<\/strong> – Rotates the final pattern (degrees)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
\nFinishing:<\/h3>\n
The next step involves which portion of the source you wish to replace\/add\/multiply with the selected pattern.<\/p>\n
![\"image008\"](\"http:\/\/wp.optics.arizona.edu\/milster\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/48\/2016\/08\/image008.jpg\")
<\/p>\nTo replace\/add\/multiply the entire pattern, click on \u201cFull Win\u201d, or click on \u201cFind Win\u201d and enter an X,Y center along with a width and length in meters.<\/p>\n
Next, one is given the option of scaling the new data to a min and max.<\/p>\n
Finally, save the new source. The new pattern is updated in the original edit window.<\/p>\n
