[ATM] New program for mirror evaluation: Foucault Test Analysis

["Andreas Reifke" <Andreas.Reifke@web.de>]

Greetings,

I'm writing a program for mirror evaluation, called "Foucault Test Analysis".
After 3 years development time the program has reached version 2.0A. The program is fully functional and - in my opinion - fairly complete.
You can download it from:

http://www.foucault-test-analysis.de/page_eng.htm

The program is written in visual-basic and needs the vb-runtime which is also available an my page.
The program offers the following features:

- Mirror math based upon the work of Mr. Jim Burrows. - test method: Foucault (Couder mask, Everest pin stick)
- Measurement-Units: inches, mm, cm
- Mirror-Evaluation: Wavefront-profile, Millies LaCroix, Transverse aberration
- Monte Carlo Analysis
- Complete Simulation of the foucault test with test-masks
- Mirror Log for tracking polishing progress

Version 2.0B is in the pipe (next 2 month) and offers the following test-methods:
- lateral wire test
- caustic test
- poor man's caustic.

This software is a steady work in progress. If you have suggestions for further development, I would love to hear from it. Perhaps I can realize your wish in one of the next versions. Critisism and feedback are highly welcome as well as bug-reports.

Happy grinding,

Andreas Reifke
