“configure” and enter again. Now choose the desired
startup parameters as follows:
1. Select “startup mode” to choose "power" or
"energy" for the desired startup screen. Choose
power or energy and press enter and save. The
Nova II will now start up in power or energy
measurement mode, respectively, when switched
on.
2. Now select “display mode” and select the desired
startup screen. Press save. (Note that this
selection is saved in the Nova II and not the
sensor, so will be operative for all sensors). For
more details on the screen types see section 4.6.
3. Now select “Energy Range” and choose the energy
range you wish to be the default or autorange.
The Nova II will now be in the range selected when
switched on with the sensor in question. Note that
there are only manual ranges in energy.
4. Now select “Average” and select the period you
wish to average power readings over. This feature is
especially useful for lasers with non-steady output.
See section 4.4.2.4 for details
.
5. Now select “Diffuser” if your sensor has a
removable diffuser and select if you wish
diffuser in (installed) or out (not installed) to be
the default.
6. Now select “Max Pulse len”, enter and select
the laser pulse width. Select the shortest
value longer than your laser pulse width and
press save.
7. Now select “Laser” and select the laser type
you want to be the default. The Nova II will
now be correctly calibrated for the absorption
of the detector at the wavelength of the laser
type selected and will startup with the laser
wavelength selected.
8. Now press “save” if you want this to be the
startup default and press “exit”.
9. Switch the Nova II off then on by means of the
on/off/backlight switch. (See Figure 3.1). The
Nova II will enter the mode of operation last
saved with the "configure" operation.
