Galvo Calibration (live)
Min must be less than Max — value not applied
Parameters
Visibility Threshold (Base Value)
Color Channel Brightness Matching
CIE 1931 Gamma
Projection Zone
Warp (Camera Closed-Loop Keystone)
Drag a control point to bend that part of the projected image toward it — used to correct keystone/perspective distortion from an off-axis projector. 2x2 = plain 4-corner keystone; larger grids add interior correction.
Brightness Compensation
Drag a cell up/down to compensate brightness across the image — corrects scan-speed/exposure falloff from projector throw distance/angle (darker cell = more attenuation). Same grid size as Warp, independent values.
ILDA Standard Test Pattern (ITC Rev.002 1995)
Use this pattern to tune servo gain/damping, DC offset and blanking on the galvo driver board.

Optimizer
Live Telemetry
Measured on the last rendered frame — all optimize() calls of that frame combined. Truncated counts points the budget dropped before they reached the galvo; the ZV Shaper pill lights only when ringing compensation actually shaped a jump.
Settings
Corner Handling
Minimum exterior angle to treat a vertex as a corner and add dwell points; lower values catch gentler bends too.
Dwell points added at the softest qualifying corner.
Dwell points added at the sharpest corner (a full 180° reversal).
Interior Density
Interior point density — points added per 1000 DAC units of segment length.
Interior points reserved per segment before the blank-jump budget is computed.
Frame Budget
Only feeds the Smart Defaults calculation below — has no direct effect of its own.
Total point budget per frame; density scales down uniformly once this is exceeded.
Blank Jumps
Ceiling for distance-proportional blank-jump sample count.
Floor for blank-jump samples, plus the landing settle dwell.
Rate at which the blank-jump sample count scales with jump distance.
First fallback blank-sample count when a frame goes over budget, before the hard minimum above.
Resample
Replaces length-proportional density with constant point spacing along every edge.
Target spacing between resampled points, in DAC units. Only used while Resample is enabled.
Densifies resampling where the path bends (turn angle between edges) and thins it on straight runs — also brings continuous curve patterns into the optimizer. Requires Resample.
How strongly a bend shortens spacing. 0 = off (base spacing everywhere).
Densest allowed spacing at the sharpest bends (DAC units).
Sparsest allowed spacing on nearly-straight runs (DAC units).
Ringing Compensation
Zero-Vibration (ZV) input shaping on blank jumps — measure your galvo's resonance before enabling.
Galvo mechanical resonant frequency in Hz — must be measured on real hardware.
Galvo damping ratio ζ — must be measured on real hardware (typical 0.05–0.3).
Jitter
Perpendicular point displacement for a hand-drawn line texture instead of laser-perfect edges.
Maximum perpendicular jitter offset, in DAC units.
Scanner Protection
Subdivides any lit step exceeding Max Step so the galvo is never asked to jump further than it can follow in one tick.
Limits how quickly commanded velocity can change between ticks, to avoid exciting galvo resonance.
Jump Order
Nearest-neighbour blank-jump ordering across a call's segments (wireframes, text, paint) — shortens total jump distance instead of visiting them in input order. Closed shapes may rotate their start vertex; open segments may be traversed backwards.
Refines the nearest-neighbour tour with bounded 2-opt block reversals — removes crossings the greedy order leaves behind for a shorter total jump path. Requires Reorder Segments; only kicks in below the per-frame segment-count cap.

Projection
Sample Rate
Two independent numbers. Rated Speed is the galvo's mechanical datasheet spec (ILDA points/s at the test angle) and is the reference point the optimizer's PPS scaling is calibrated against. Output Sample Rate is the DAC sample clock. Running the sample clock above the rated speed is normal oversampling — the mirror low-passes what it cannot follow.

⚠ Below 5 kpps the NE555 scan-fail timing circuit may not trigger reliably
Measures the highest sample rate this controller can clock out without ring-buffer overflow — it does not test the galvo. Needs a live load: start a pattern and raise the master dimmer first, or it will refuse.
