1.1.3 Laptop computer and software

A laptop computer is provided to drive the system, It performs the following functions:

1. communication initialization

2. zeroing of RF signal

3. spectrum generation from amplitude function A(ω) and phase function ϕ(ω)

4. setting of central frequency (wavelength) for A(ω) and ϕ(ω)

5. dial programming of A(ω) as supergaussian (power 6) of given width with gaussian hole

6. dial programming of ϕ(ω) as a polynomial

7. reading A(ω) and ϕ(ω) from ﬁles

8. setting of the waveform amplitude and duration

9. storing and retrieving of waveforms for waveform combination (multiple pulses)

10. sending (launching) waveform to the RF unit

11. choice of two waveforms or to alternate at each trigger between two stored waveforms

software front panel

All the above programmation is done from the main program GUI panel (Figure 1.2). The

trigger settings require a separate panel. Other functions are available via menu commands:

1. saving and retrieving panel parameters in ﬁles

2. setting of the trigger conditions
