Target Component Summary Table

A table containing a summary of target component parameters can be displayed by selecting the View | Target Components Summary menu item, or clicking the Show Target Components Summary Table button on the toolbar . For each target component, the table contains:

• General target component properties:
  • name
  • type of object
• Positioning parameters
  • reference coordinate system used for positioning
  • type of coordinate system used for positioning (Cartesian, cylindrical, spherical)
  • reference point for defining position (e.g., centroid, corner)
  • position of reference point (3 coordinates)
  • angles used for orienting target component (polar, azimuthal, rotation)
• Size and grid parameters
  • length parameters (up to 5)
  • number of grid points (up to 4)
  • wall thickness
  • orientation of surface normals
• Material parameters:
  • albedo
  • x-ray conversion efficiency
  • power of target component (self-emission)
  • laser reflectivity
• Viewing parameters:
  • polygon fill mode (wireframe, front fill, front & back fill)
  • transparency factor.

For parameters that are time-dependent (specified using a table), the word "Table" appears in place of a value.

An example target components summary dialog is shown below.

Additional features of the Target Components Summary dialog include:

• Parameters for a target component can be edited by selecting with mouse. To edit a target component, double-click on any cell in its row, or right-mouse click and select Edit.
• A splitter is provided to facilitate simultaneous viewing of widely separated columns.
