Figure 29 Fiber Laser Connection Dialog
If a redPOWER Fiber Laser is connected to the PC, but FiberView cannot establish
communication with it then
1. Check the correct connection cable is being used, appropriate to the type of serial
connection (as in Sections 7.6.3 or 7.6.5).
2. Use the Communications Settings button to check that FiberView is set for the same
communication port that the redPOWER Fiber Laser is connected to, and correct if
necessary.
3. Make sure that the communications modules have been correctly installed. Do this by
uninstalling FiberView. Then go into the Utilities – Communications Package folder on
the FiberView CD. Run the program FLComms110.exe. Then re-install FiberView as
described in Section 7.5.
The hardware on the redPOWER Fiber Laser stores set-up information: e.g. programmed
parameter sets, alarm and warning levels, calibration data and configuration. On start-up,
FiberView reads this information from the redPOWER Fiber Laser. Thus one installation of
FiberView can be connected to any redPOWER Fiber Laser, and will know its status and
limitations. The information read back from the redPOWER Fiber Laser is displayed in the
Laser Tabs area.
It is possible to have more than one instance of FiberView running on a single PC, with each
instance controlling a separate redPOWER Fiber Laser.
On connecting to a redPOWER Fiber Laser, FiberView displays its overview screen, similar
to Figure 30.
