    keyword=run record of beam position scan (with basic conclusions)

    Raster size 11 x 11 (MCC units), 6.5 x 5.0 mm (x by y); with blowup factor of 1.7, the raster is 11 x 8.5 mm 24773 Nominal ref run 24774 moved beam +2mm in x 24775 moved beam +4mm in x (Found cell sidewall!) 24776 moved beam +2mm in y 24777 moved beam +4mm in y (we think we're close to the wall?) 24778 moved beam -2mm in y 24779 moved beam -4mm in y 24780 moved beam -5.5mm in y (raster cur. scan very sloped toward wall) 24781 moved beam -2mm in x 24782 moved beam -4mm in x (Found the Wall)

    See Rupesh's spot++ posts.

    Basic conclusion is that we are fairly well centered in x (and in y). We found definitively the wall in x by moving symmetrically (4mm) to either side. The y position scans are less definitive because we don't see a spike at one side--indicating wall, but a slope (across the raster current scan ) which increases as we move closer to the "wall". However, since these targets have vertical flow, the "walls" in y are not well defined (they are not like the walls in x)...so perhaps we should not expect to see a wall spike as in x...experts should comment here.

    Can we determine the true/effective raster size from this study? Assuming we are centered on the target in x and knowing that we hit the wall with a 4mm excursion to either side implies that the raster size with tails is no smaller than 16 mm in x (assuming 20mm cell width). Assuming the same blowup ratio (16/11) for y gives (8.5*16/11) 12.4 mm. So the effective raster size is 16 by 12.4 mm (pretty big).
