Introduction to the LDC-3700 Series Front Panel
The LDC-3700 Series Laser Diode Controller's front panel contains displays and controls for both the
TEC
and
LASER controller hardware. Each of the labeled areas on the front panel (ie.
TEC
DISPLAY or GPIB) is
described in a separate section later in this chapter.
Generally, the controls are simple to operate. The
parameters, however, are intentionally awkward to use
so
that their values are not inadvertently changed.

Note: Section
2.4.1
gives a quick introduction to the front panel functions
by
briefly describing the switches and indicators.
Sections 2.5 and
2.6
describe the
GPIB
and ADJUST areas, respectively. The functions in these areas are common
to both
TEC
and LASER operation.
Sections
2.7
-
2.10 cover the
TEC
functional areas of the front panel, including
TEC
error indicators.
Sections
2.11
-
2.16 describe the LASER functional areas of the front panel, including LASER controller error
indicators.
Section
2.17
describes the SAVE and
RECALL
functions for the front panel parameters.
