IPS-300 Power Supply
The IPS-300 power supply provides high DC current to the laser head to drive the laser
diode and control electronics. It also provides clean, dry air to the laser head to keep the
laser cavity free of contaminants.
ThermoRack 401 Chiller
A thermo-electric cooler (TEC) ThermoRack 401 chiller is provided with the InSight X3
laser system to supply chilled coolant to the laser head for cooling the laser diode.
Control Software
Special graphical user interface (GUI) control
software is provided by Spectra-Physics
for controlling the InSight
X3 system. This software comes preinstalled on a notebook
computer optionally provided with the system. It is also provided on a USB flash drive
(located in the accessory kit supplied with the laser) for installation on your own
Windows-based computer.
The InSight X3 laser system can also be automatically controlled using your own
software program. A command line interface allows control of the laser system through
the RS-232 or USB serial connection on the laser head. The command language is
described in
Appendix A, “Programming Guide.”

Specifications
Table 1-1 lists the optical performance specifications for the InSight X3 laser system,
Table 1-2 lists mechanical specifications, and Table 1-3 lists environmental
specifications.
In order to comply with CDRH safety requirements,
during laser operation, run only the GUI software on a
dedicated computer system. Do NOT run other
software simultaneously on the computer that is
operating the laser system.
