Off-Line Use (Manual Mode)

The LDS1000 Controller has two modes of operation.
Manual mode which enables:
• The configuration of the controller in accordance with the parameters
of the sensor used.
• To carry out measurements on values displayed.
• To modify the integration time, and the display mode.
• To parameter the communication interface.
• To select the analog outputs (if option available).
Interface mode which enables:
• Flying spot reading of values measured,
• Execution of acquisition sequences that are synchronized or not.
• Reading the sensor status.
Manual mode is valid when the autocollimator is in off-line use, to perform
measurements from the controller display. It is also used to parameter the
computer interface or to access the analog outputs option (if it exists).

Access to Manual Mode

Manual mode is directly accessible on the controller at the time of Power
up, except in the following cases:
• Sensor non connected or damaged (Laser error).
• Analog output mode valid (Refer to the corresponding chapter).
• Communication in progress via RS-232-C or IEEE-488 (Refer to the
Interface Mode chapter).
The starting point is the main Menu which is the controller's usual mode of
operation.
Access to the different Menus, parameter scrolling and the choice of values
is obtained by pressing one of the 5 buttons on the front panel of the
controller (F1 to F5).
