Morning
Getting to work on beam pattern design documentation. Rich was in fairly early, so I asked him about what he wanted for the beams. It looks like he needs a low frequency (now this term has been dubbed rate of recurrence) in order to melt the metal in the pool a little, rather than just heat the surface. I set out to make some prints of beams with a set number of points. I started to make them in AutoCad.
Afternoon
I realized that AutoCad was a poor choice because I was already using Excel to generate the data points, so I might as well just use Excel to graph the data. I took some quick shots of a spiral and sine wave pattern for the document. In order to have it ready for the meeting tomorrow, I am splitting it up into two distinct sections: basic beam patterns and advanced beam patterns. The advanced section will be the work that I did last week. Hopefully that will preserve the work I've already done rather than just throwing it away.
