The control electronics for the filter changer are activated by the POWER switch (MAINS)
on the back panel of the unit. Remember, when using an arc lamp with this system it is best
to turn the lamp power supply on BEFORE turning on the Lambda 10-3. Arc lamp power
supplies produce a high voltage lamp starting pulse that may interrupt normal operation of
microprocessor-controlled devices or damage electronics.
When power is applied, the LAMBDA 10
determine the mechanical equipment attached to the controller. As part of this process, the
filter wheel will rotate at a slow rate until sensors in the mechanical units signal that the "0"
filter position is lined up with the optical port. The wheel will then make an additional move
away from filter 0 and then back to filter 0. The controller currently automatically recognizes
3 different classes of filter wheels: standard 10-position, high-speed 4-position, and high-
current 10 -position (32 mm). At power on, the Lambda 10-3 will rotate the filter wheel to
filter position 0. If the wheel does not rotate to this position as detected by a Hall effect
sensor, the display will indicate that there is an error. If the microprocessor detects that it is
not a 10-position wheel, the controller will only execute moves to filter positions 0 through 3.
While the unit is going through these steps, the following screen is displayed:

Once the unit has initialized, it is ready for USB input, as indicated by the U at the right side
of the first display line. Serial input can be activated as noted in the section on the serial port
(in which case, the U is replaced with an S.). To use the keypad, press the LOCAL key. When
LOCAL is pressed, the last character on the first line will change to an L
