MSM+ HB 16.2.4 Measurement with PLM Observe the sequence when setting up the connection with the LaserDiagnostics software LDS. Only then the LDS integrates the results of the power measurement into the results of the MSM+ HB mea- surement. This means that the actual power is stored to every single plane. Otherwise, the LDS considers the two devices as two completely independent devices. -

MSM+ HB 16.3 Appendix C: Measuring pulsed irradiation 16.3.1 Trigger operation The dynamic range of the CCD sensor in the camera housing is extended by means of a variable integration time control. The integration time can be freely determined in the range between 6 µs and 225 ms, or it can be set automatically (for this purpose, activate the Autom. -

MSM+ HB 16.3.4 Examples for trigger operation Example 1: fixed integration time With these settings, the device detects the second laser pulse after the trigger is released. Depending on how precisely it can be triggered, the integration time can also be varied. Laser parameter Device settings Pulse duration:... - Page 116 MSM+ HB Revision 00 EN - 02/2022...
