In OptiRE, a new database BBM Movies has been introduced. This database can store log files recorded by broad band monitoring devices. The new option BBM Movie Data of the Data menu allows you to analyze these files in order to study specifics of broad band monitoring procedures.
During the deposition of multilayer coatings with broadband monitoring (BBM) control it is often possible to save spectra at each rotation of the calotte. Typically measured spectra are saved as X/Y files in two-column format. Using X/Y import option it is possible to analyze separate spectra, but it is impossible to analyze the whole amount of BBM information, since typically during deposition of complicated coatings hundreds and thousands of X/Y files are saved.
We will call a Movie the whole set of X/Y files related to a deposition run with BBM monitoring.
Movies can be stored in BBM Movies database. Currently the only way to create a Movie file is to use Import BBM Movie option.
In order to use BBM Movie options you need to perform several simple steps:
Step 1. Create New movie and specify measurement characteristic (TS, TP, TA, RS, RP, RA, BRA, BRP, BRA), angle of incidence, wavelength range used to calculate discrepancies.
