    , pE-300 , pE-340 and pE-4000 Illumination Systems. Hardware CoolLED systems have been designed to provide the user with a choice of ways of controlling the LED's functions: • Manually via switches and an intensity control on the remote ‘Control Pod’.

    Guide to CoolLED Products & Essential Commands white ultra fura pE-300 , pE-300 & pE-340 white ultra fura The pE-300 , pE-300 and pE-340 are simple light sources to operate. Considering the Control Pod helps explain the control options. Figure 1 shows the...
  • Page 5 white A TTL-In is also available through the BNC connector on the pE-300 and this performs the same function as the Global on/off button but gives much more ultra fura control over precise timing. The pE-300 and pE-340 also have this BNC but additionally have individual BNC connections available to further control each channel.
  • Page 6 Figure 3: Longer CSS command structure. Not all channels need to be included in the command and channels can be written in any order after the prefix. The second-long CSS command shown above sets all three channels in a single command line.
  • Page 7 If the intensity settings on each channel are identical then this command will increase or decrease the intensity of each channel by an identical amount of 1%. If the channels are on different settings then the change will vary between channels in order to maintain the relative balance.

    pE-4000 white The pE-4000 Light Source has a similar operating method to the pE-300 . The Control Pod operation will be briefly covered here to explain the control but a more detailed description can be found in the pE-4000 User Manual. Figure 4: pE-4000 Control Pod.
  • Page 9 Channel Channel Channel Channel Figure 5: Channels A-D assigned to pE-4000 wavelengths. Each of the four channels can have only one wavelength in use at a time. This can be set in one of three states by software: • Deselected •...
  • Page 10 white Just like on the pE-300 Control Pod ‘select’ button, alternative presses of a wavelength button (e.g. ‘365’) will move that wavelength between the selected and deselected state. A Global on/off button is also available on the pE-4000 Control Pod that will with alternative presses switch on and off any selected wavelengths.
  • Page 11 The ability to load one wavelength from a choice of four is unique to the pE-4000. In order to load a wavelength into the ready-for-use position, the desired wavelength only needs to have its button pressed on the Control Pod. The ‘LOAD’ command is used to load a wavelength as follows, with 405nm being the desired wavelength in this example.
  • Page 12 Examples: • To select channel B but leave it off and set its intensity to 50% the following command would be used: CSSBSF050 • To select channel B and have it on and set its intensity to 50% the following command could be used: CSSBSN050 •...
  • Page 13 The pE-4000 can also be set into a mode that will provide continual reporting of the intensity of each channel and whether it is set to on or off. The ‘XLIVE’ command provides this function. XLIVE=YES Switches on regular reporting of the status of each channel. XLIVE=NO Switches of this regular reporting.
  • Page 14 When a wavelength is set into the analogue mode, the intensity bar on the Control Pod screen will turn into a curve shaped icon used to represent analogue mode (see below). Figure 8: The 580nm wavelength is set into the Analogue mode. The analogue inputs can be seen clearly on the pE-Expansion Box that is commonly used to interface with the 25 pin D-Type connector as shown in Figure 9.
  • Page 15 Figure 9: Expansion Box that fits onto the 25-way D-Type connector on the pE-4000. As can be seen in Figure 9 the pE-Expansion Box shows TTL and Analogue outputs for 4 channels E-H. These outputs are available for controlling peripheral devices such as a pE-100.
  • Page 16 CSS commands can be used to control the outputs on Channels E-H. The command can be used in its short or long form as shown in Figure 10: Figure 10: CSS commands that address output channels E-H. If desirable, the Control Pod can be locked out during software operation. This feature can reduce the risk of an experiment or routine being accidently interrupted by a Control Pod button press.

    Appendix A: Graphical User Interface Construction The fundamental controls necessary for an LED system can be covered by four simple control functions as are listed below. Some suggestions of how a GUI may be designed are given only to provide some assistance if needed. The ability to read in and load available wavelengths on the GUI.
  • Page 26 Figure 11: Example of a GUI. Figure 11 shows a mixture of GUI controls that may be applied to the control of the white pE-4000 or pE-300 . This is only covering the most basic control but the designer may include other functions, for example the analogue mode option and control for the extra channels E-H.
