Abstract:
1. A computer-implemented method for controlling a plurality of electromagnetic energy sources, comprising: coupling a controller to a plurality of electromagnetic energy sources comprising laser sources, the controller configured to individually control the output of each of the laser sources independently; using the controller to determine by summing the output powers of the laser sources and provide a total output power of the plurality of electromagnetic energy sources; executing instructions on a processor to display on a computer-human interface display device a user interface region, the user interface region including: receiving an input via the user interface region, the input being an interaction with the pie-graph that changes one of the radius or a sector of the plurality of the sectors; and adjusting a power output of one or more of the electromagnetic energy sources based on the input; and wherein changing the radius of the pie-graph changes the total output power of the plurality of the electromagnetic energy sources, and wherein changing the one of the radius or the sector of the plurality of the sectors changes a percentage of the total output power contributed by one or more of the plurality of the electromagnetic energy sources and adjusts the power output of at least one of the plurality of the electromagnetic energy sources relative to at least another of the plurality of the electromagnetic energy sources.
