However, this versatility brings with it some complication in setting up each device. Newport designs all of its IEEE-488 products to be completely compatible with National Instruments’ GPIB controller cards. Likewise, most of our IEEE-488 software requires National Instruments’ device drivers to run on your PC. -

Page 27: Optional Accessories
There is no need to purchase more than one grating or a larger grating turret, and there is no need to send the instrument back to Newport. We offer a wide variety of gratings to suit most spectral ranges and resolution requirements. Please call Newport with your specific needs. - Page 28 15. Once the software is running and you see the main window, press the Grating Parameters button in the center of the control panel. 16.

- Page 29 M-74050 ™ MS260i 1/4M IMAGING SPECTROGRAPH Grating Factor Calibration 1. Select a radiation source that has at least two narrow spectral lines in the wavelength region where you will be working. 2. The radiation from your line source should be focused on the entrance slit to fill the monochromator’s f/3.7.
- Page 30 For the highest accuracies, it may be necessary under some circumstances to wavelength calibrate your MS260i™. We recommend using a low pressure spectral line lamp such as Newport’s model 6035 Mercury Lamp for this purpose, however you can use another line source such as a laboratory laser.
