It is necessary that thedirectory is writable for storing the individual Beam Expander configuration file.Warning informationAfter launching the software you have to confirm that your laser beam is switched off. The laser has tobe switched off, because changing the expansion (zoom factor) or RBFL means moving lens elementsinside the Beam Expander. During moving, it is possible that the variable lens groups focus the laserbeam on a lens element. This may destroy lenses inside the Beam Expander.Using the Windows TM User InterfaceWhen you are running the Beam Expander user program for the first time on your PC, the serialcommunication port to the Beam Expander has to be defined first.Display at the beginning of the installation9
