Currently, the setup:
- Finds the center
- Finds the Z_R
- Measures the M^2
The M^2 measurement may be sped up by
- Taking rough measurements of the beam caustic
- Doing a fit to obtain rough Z_R and center measurements
- Taking a few more measurements within the +/-Z_R range.
- Doing a refit
This reduces the total number of measurement points significantly.
