Choose ”Add...”, and browse the ﬁlesystem to ﬁnd the directory containing the parameter

folder. When “inside”the parameter folder, choose ”Select Folder”. The basename of the

selected directory should appear in the “List of Sets”. When this name is selected (highlighted),

its absolute path should appear in the box “Set of Params Path”

To allow the software to start automatically using one set of parameters, one should click once

on ”Make Default” when the required set is selected. This will put a white dot at the left of

the line. When the window looks like on left just click ”OK”. The software should then start

normally using the selected parameters.

5.6 Alarms operation

Alarms have been implemented to protect the Dazzler

and the laser system in which it is

installed.

• the conditions which may raise alarms are checked regularly, polling rate above 10Hz,

• the presence of an alarm is indicated by the ”poll message” (see software front panel)

which becomes red and bold, as shown below, and the L2 indicator blinks red,

• alarm conditions are ”sticky”: this means the alarm needs to occur only once to be remem-

bered until it is cleared by an explicit operator ”acknowledgement”. Thus a temporary

fault will raise an alarm condition which will last until it has been “acknowledged” by the

operator. Alarm acknowledgment requires opening then closing the monitor conﬁguration

panel. Note that issuing this command stops the RF generation.

The message after the f/limit value depends on the alarm type (see section subsection 5.6.1

for more details).

• an alarm condition makes the L2 LED blink rapidly (Figure 5.17).

• a description is given in the alarm box of the Monitor Conﬁguration panel as shown

below.

the operations which can be done are self explanatory, they will be described in another version of this

manual
