6-12 Operation
Operating the System Using the GUI Control Software
Motor Fine Tune control—Allows the user to optimize dispersion compensation by
making fine adjustments to the DeepSee motor. Use the up/down arrows to the right of
the field or type a number directly into the field itself.
The limits are factory set and change depending on the wavelength. These limits are
represented by the blue lines on the Objectives tab (see
Figure 6-9).
Output Power indicator (the vertical cylinder on the right)—Displays current system
output power from 0 to 3
W. This is a relative indicator of performance. The calibration
is only accurate to a few percent and it should not be used as an absolute measurement of
laser power. An optical power meter should be used for performance monitoring.
Laser Ready indicator—Illuminates in green when the laser is operating correctly and
producing light. The system is ready for the shutter to be opened.
Status monitor —Provides system status information. Some examples are:
Status: Initializing, 20% warmed up
Status: Ready
Status: Turning on
Status: Running Mode
Objectives Tab
The Objectives tab (Figure 6-8) allows the user to modify and create different objective
tables. This section describes the function of each control and display. Refer to
“Objective Tables” for an explanation of objective tables and how to create and use
them.
