3.2.9.1.1 Start Button
The Start Button begins data collection. However, if the LBA-PC is not collecting data in the
background, then clicking this button will not result in data being plotted. In order for Beam
Stability to work, the user must make sure that LBA-PC is open and collecting data in the
background!
3.2.9.1.2 Pause Button
The Pause button stops the data graphing but doesn’t reset the graphs, thus data is
preserved from one pause operation to the next. Clicking on the Start button after Pause
will append data to the graph.
3.2.9.1.3 Reset Button
The Reset button will throw away all data in the charts and begin as though the Beam
Stability window was just opened. If the user desires to Print a run of data it must be done
before the Reset button is pressed. The text in the Notes dialog will not be cleared by the
Reset operation.
3.2.9.1.4 Printer Setup Button
This is the standard Windows Printer Setup dialog box. It allows the user to set up the
printer for the desired results.
3.2.9.1.5 Print Button
The Print Button causes the entire Beam Stability window to be printed out. The program
prints in a “what you see is what you get” manner. The Beam Stability print operation will
not print the LBA-PC beam graphic. Printing LBA-PC beam graphics must be done form
within the LBA-PC application.
3.2.9.1.6 Notes
Below the Main Controls is a Notes area. The user can type any notations here and it will be
printed out with the charts. Information entered here will remain from one reset to the next
and from one application startup to the next.
3.2.9.2 Strip Chart Controls
These controls allow the user to configure the way Beam Stability data samples are displayed.
