Detector Control
Modifying the Signal Parameters of a 3D Field

Modify one or several signal parameters of a Photodiode Array Detector to improve the size and the quality of a 3D Field:

Description

 

Comment

BunchWidth

Shows the current value of the bunch width.

Increasing the value improves the signal-to-noise ratio. However, the resolution decreases.

MaxWavelength MinWavelength

Determines the upper/lower limit of the 3D field.

Use these parameters to limit the size of the 3D field to the essential section.

RefWavelength (Reference Wavelength)

Changes the reference wavelength.

If necessary, increase the bandwidth to improve the Signal-to-Noise Ratio.

RefBandwidth (Reference Bandwidth)

Changes the reference bandwidth.

If necessary, increase the bandwidth to improve the signal-to-noise ratio.

Retention

Indicates the current retention time.

The value cannot be modified.

Step

Changes the step.

Select the step such that the narrowest peak contains approximately 20 datapoints
