CHAPTER 2
LDC-3900 Front Panel
The LDC-3900 Modular 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 (i.e. TEC Display or GPIB) is described in a separate
section later in this chapter.
Generally, the controls are simple to operate. The setup parameters, however, are
intentionally awkward to use so that their values are not inadvertently changed.
Front Panel
Notice in Figure 2.1 that the TEC functions are on the left side, and the Laser
functions are near the center of the front panel.
Functions which are common to both TEC and Laser, such as GPIB or Adjust, are
on the right side of the front panel. Note also that the Parameter area is divided
into TEC and Laser components. The TEC parameters are on the left, and the
Laser parameters are on the right, while the common Save and RecallRecall
parameters are at the bottom.
