The wavelength values λ are converted into optical frequencies val-
ues ω = 2πC/λ to generate A

(ω).
5.5 Parameters
The Dazzler
TM
application software uses text files to keep data related to the complete system,
like the crystal parameters, etc. These parameters allow also to drive different models of RF
generators with the same application. In principle, the user should NOT modify these files.
One may however have to do so when adapting to a new release, or installing on another
computer: these changes should always be done in consultation with Fastlite.
5.5.1 Parameter files
Location and names of files
Parameter files are generally kept in a different directory than the Dazzler
TM
software itself.
This allows to store them on a different partition than the system. The location of that directory
is defined in the file C:\dazzler\data\params.txt. One should find here a line of the form :
D
<param
folder
nickname>
<Parameters
Directory
Path>
The location of the parameter folder can be changed : see subsection 5.5.2 for details.
The parameter files stored in this directory are:
ro DazMain.txt contains factory parameters
rw DazCurrent.txt settings optionally saved upon exit
rw wave.txt current waveform parameters
Comments start with the exclamation mark ”!”. However, files which are rw
6
cannot unfortu-
nately keep user-added comments, as they are overwritten by the software, but each parameter
contained in these files should already be described by a short comment.
DazMain.txt
This is the major file defining the Dazzler system. This file contains different sections of
type [section name], in which are stored the different factory parameters needed to describe
the generator. For example, the software uses this file to determine if the generator has the
