Chapter 9: Detector array configurations 131
About configuration maps
Introduction This topic describes the filter and mirror arrangements in the
detector arrays.
Filter and mirror
arrangement
The filters are arranged in the detector array to steer progressively
shorter wavelengths of light to the next detector in the array. The
longest wavelength should be in the A position and the shortest
wavelength should be in the last position used.
There should not be any empty slots for any laser being used.
Always use a blank optic holder.
If a slot is filled with a filter or mirror, an identifying number
appears in that position on the configuration map. If a slot is filled
with a blank optic holder, that position on the configuration map is
unlabeled.
