SHIFT PORT To change the port, press this key. Followed by either 1 or 2 and then press
ENTER. The number 1 corresponds to the axial port and the number 2
corresponds to the lateral output port.
FILTER Move the 74010 Filter Wheel accessory to the specified position. Press FILTER,
then type the number 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 indicating the desired position, then
finally press ENTER to execute the move.
SHIFT LABEL This key (located directly above FILTER) provides access to the filter label.
These labels are eight character alpha-numeric fields, used for information only.
You can use the keypad to type any number, then press ENTER to accept that
new value. The Hand Controller display only shows the first four digits of the
label, and you can only enter numbers.
LOCAL Use this key to toggle between “local” communication through the Hand
Controller and “remote” communication with a computer. Please note that if you
press LOCAL to activate the Hand Controller (the display is lit and information
fills the screen), you also lock out PC communications. You cannot command
the Cornerstone via either RS-232, IEEE-488 or USB while the Hand Controller
is active.
SHIFT UNITS To change the wavelength units press this key, followed by either 1, 2, or 3 and
then press ENTER. Those three number keys are labeled with the
corresponding units: 1 is nanometers (nm), 2 is micrometers (µm), and 3 is
wave numbers (cm
-1
) shown as “ ”.
1 Pressing the 1 key when not in a function parameter edit mode brings ups the
“Slit1um>” prompt to edit/enter the slit 1 size, (the slit at the input port), the
integer parameter is the open size specified in microns. Slit range is 6-2000
microns, in 6 micron resolution steps; for values larger than 2000 the slit goes to
2000, for values 0-6 the slit goes to 6.
SHIFT 1 Pressing the SHIFT-1 key when not in a function parameter edit mode brings
ups the “Bandpass>” prompt. The floating point parameter is the wavelength
resolution to automatically adjust slits for. If Bandpass is not set at zero the
74000 will be adjust all slits to maintain the Bandpass resolution at wavelength
moves and grating changes. Setting Bandpass to 0 turns off this automatic
adjustment. Slit range is 6-2000 microns, in 6 micron resolution steps. For
Bandpass adjustments requiring slit openings larger than 2000 the slit goes to
2000, for values 0-6 the slit goes to 6. Note; for Bandpass slit size calculations
to function properly, Slit1 must be at the input port.
2 Pressing the 2 key when not in a function parameter edit mode brings ups the
“Slit2um>” prompt to edit/enter the slit 2 size, the integer parameter is the open
size specified in microns. Slit range is 6-2000 microns, in 6 micron resolution
steps; for values larger than 2000 the slit goes to 2000, for values 0-6 the slit
goes to 6.
3 Pressing the 3 key when not in a function parameter edit mode brings ups the
“Slit3um>” prompt to edit/enter the slit 3 size, the integer parameter is the open
size specified in microns. Slit range is 6-2000 microns, in 6 micron resolution
steps; for values larger than 2000 the slit goes to 2000, for values 0-6 the slit
goes to 6.
