This is just an update on the latest changes to the surface deviation plot.
The changes are a direct result of the excellent input from the list.  So,
thank you! ;)

Here's the screen shots:
http://lerch.no-ip.com/atm/FigureXP_English.gif (31k)
http://lerch.no-ip.com/atm/FigureXP_Metric.gif (31k)

Both screen shots are plots of the same mirror, only difference being the
English/Metric data entry.

The major difference between these and the most recent screen shot is:

A) Dropped the "%" sign on the Percent Radius side of the screen

B)Altered physical radius dimensions so that they are:

    #1 If Metric, 10 or less divisions, each division some multiple of 5mm
    #2 If English, 10 or less divisions, each division some multiple of a
1/2 inch

As always, let me know what you think ;)

PS,  Dave Rowe sent me some code that looks like the real time star test
will be a reality :)

Take Care,
James Lerch
