Autostart Real Time Monitor
When selected, it releases the pause function for the display with patterns, enabling an automatic start of the real
time monitoring (RTM) of the milling process.
Live RTM after Snapshot
After acquiring a snapshot, the RTM feature continues automatically.
Blackout Pattern Area for RTM
In case the Real Time Monitor is running, the area not milled is darkened to enhance the visibility of the RTM
information. The visibility of the individual patterning pixels is greatly enhanced (this is especially important for
patterns with extremely large pitch or very thin lines).
