Laser Beams Pointing Checks

For the OMEGA target chamber, checks on laser beam pointing can be performed.

For OMEGA, beam pointing is limited to a cylindrical volume: 10 mm off-axis orthogonal to the beam direction and +9 / -15 mm along the beam propagation direction.

Pointing checks are performed each time laser beam and target component parameters are edited (the latter because beams can be pointed relative to target components).

Beam pointing checks can also be performed using the Lasers | Perform Beam Pointing Checks menu item.

Checks are not performed on probe beams, beams entering from EP ("Beam_EP"), or custom laser beams.

Warnings can be turned off either by checking the box in the warning message, or in Preferences on the Warnings tab.
