This study presents an innovative configuration of a 4D interferometer that mitigates convection and vibration noise, allowing for the precise acquisition of influence functions (IF) and the determination of KL modes. Key advancements include dynamic interferometry with high sensitivity, rapid external triggering, and improved data acquisition processes. We detail the software modifications and enhancements that support real-time measurements, continuous image sampling, and reliable data transfer. This novel setup is expected to significantly enhance alignment and phase detection capabilities.
