//**Hint: We recommend to start with the most simple mesh mode (1x1) and setup the corners. After that go to 3x3 and adjust center and linearity of the boundary lines. If this is not enough, go to 5x5 and adjust | //**Hint: We recommend to start with the most simple mesh mode (1x1) and setup the corners.

Once you set a BAM for one zone you can copy these BAM settings to be applied to multiple other zones and have a bitmap screen shot of your drawn BAM copied to the clipboard, to be pasted into a document for possible use in a Laser Projector Product Report. | Once you set a BAM for one zone you can copy these BAM settings to be applied to multiple other zones and have a bitmap screen shot of your drawn BAM copied to the clipboard, to be pasted into a document for possible use in a Laser Projector Product Report. | ||

- | The **Minimum number of points** setting in the **Projector Settings** window can be adjusted to relieve the scanners from trying to scan high duty-cycle which may cause power limiting. Setting the **Minimum number of points** to 200 or higher can actually increase the life of your scanners. However, doing so will mean that if you project less than 200 points, the additional points will be blanked. For beam frames, it is often undesirable to have any unintended blanking at all because such blanking would tend to reduce the power of the display. When the **Prevent minimum number of points** check box is checked, all scanner output will be dedicated strictly to producing laser output and the Minimum number of points setting is ignored. | + | The **Minimum number of points** setting in the **Projector Settings** window can be adjusted to relieve the scanners from trying to scan high duty-cycle which may cause power limiting.
