4- Fix the Beamage-M2 module with the Beamage-3.0 camera mounted via the C-mount adaptor. Once the
adaptor is fixed on the camera, insert it in the Beamage-M2 module and use the small setscrews located
on the side of the module to fix the camera in place. Ideally, the Beamage-M2 module should be
positioned such that the Beamage-3.0’s CMOS sensor is located slightly after the focal length of the lens.
5- Fix the second Beamage-3.0 camera in the second optical path. The distance between the dove prism
and this camera must be the same as the distance between the prism and the converging lens.
6- Make sure that the laser, the lens, the Beamage-3.0 and the Beamage-M2 module are correctly aligned.
The laser should point out the center of both the lens and the aperture of the Beamage-M2 module.
