Operating the System Using the GUI Control Software
Operation 6-11
Figure 6-7 Main tab display
The control features are described below as they appear on the screen from top to
bottom, left to right.
Set Wavelength slide control and field entry—Allows the user to select an operation
wavelength from 680 to 1300
nm.
There are several ways to set the wavelength: by using the up/down arrows to the right
of the Set
Wavelength field, by typing a number into the field itself, by using the
wavelength preset buttons or by dragging the slide selector in the upper bar graph to the
desired location (wavelength numbers corresponding to its position displays in the
Set
Wavelength field).
Actual Wavelength bar graph indicator —Shows the actual output wavelength value.
When the system is active, the arrow in the lower bar graph indicates the present output
wavelength. When the control bar in the Set
Wavelength field is moved, the arrow in
the lower field moves toward that same value as the system automatically adjusts the
wavelength. When the Actual
Wavelength value matches the Set Wavelength value,
the arrow stops moving and aligns with the upper bar.
Note that there is no power setting control; the system automatically optimizes output
power at each wavelength.
Wavelength Presets buttons—Allow the user to quickly change the wavelength to a
preset value by pressing one of the six buttons. The buttons are programed by selecting
a new wavelength using the slider or one of the other methods, then pressing and holding
the desired button for a few seconds. The text in the button changes to the currently set
wavelength.
Microscope Objective indicator—Shows which objective is currently selected (from
the Objectives tab).
