But let’s talk about how the output is usually formed. Usually, each laser frame has its own number of points. Content creators tend to minimize the number of points to decrease the flicker. That is why in animations the number of points per frame changes a lot. The other aspect is sample rate. We all know about 30K standard (30K scanners), 40K, 60K, etc. The number defines how many points per second la… text/html 2024-01-11T09:06:21+00:00 Anonymous (anonymous@undisclosed.example.com) https://wiki.pangolin.com/doku.php?id=quickshow:quicktargets&rev=1704963981&do=diff QuickTargets (Beam Sequencing) The QuickTargets tool allows you to quickly create targeted beams and beam sequences.
