The galvanometric mirror accepts two positions:
- On its “High” position the beam is sent as such through the output port of channel 1,
- On its “Low” position the beam is steered towards channel 2
To activate the mirror using the Input/Output connector, send a digital signal (0V for “Low”, +5V for “High”)
on pin number 24.
Alternatively, if the mirror is configured to receive software commands:
- Enter the command “GA1 1” to set it to “High” position (channel 1),
- Enter the command “GA1 0” to set it to “Low” position (channel 2),
Finally, the electro-mechanical shutter on each channel can be operated independently using software
commands. Refer to chapter 3-3 of the User Manual about how to send commands to the combiner, using the
combiner control window.
- Entering the command “SH1 0” will close the shutter on channel,
- Entering the command “SH1 1” will open the first shutter,
- Entering the command “SH2 0” will close the second shutter,
- Entering the command “SH2 1” will open the second shutter
7-4 Repositionable fiber coupling system ACX-RFC
GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The repositionable fiber coupling system (RFC) is located between the output aperture of the combiner and a
fiber coupling system. It allows the user to quickly remove or attach the fiber coupling system to the
combiner, without requiring any additional adjustment.
