To Enable Dat - Continuum Surelite I 10 Operation And Maintenance Manual

Continuum Surelite Laser
• Solder the center conductor of the Q-SWITCH BNC to pin 6 of the 9 pin D
connector.
• Solder the shield of the Q-SWITCH BNC to pin 3 of the 9 pin D connector.
2. Program the DG535 as follows:
• TRIGGER - set to internal and 10 Hz or desired rep rate.
• OUTPUTS - set all outputs to High Z, TTL and NOR-MAL
• DELAYS -
− A = T = + 0
− B = A + 10 µs
− C = A + 150 µs
− D = C + 10 µs
3. Connect the special cable 9 pin D to the external connector on front of PCU.
4. Connect the FIRE BNC to AB\Bar (positive going to negative).
5. Connect the Q-switch BNC to CD/Bar (positive going to negative).
6. At the rear of the PCU flip the Q-SWITCH SELECT toggle to the EXT position (for
lowest jitter).
7. Start up the Surelite as follows:
• Toggle on AC power
• Turn keyswitch to ON
• Press SELECT button until " Eof" is displayed
• Press UP ARROWS so that display reads " Eon"
• Press on the START/STOP button
• Press on the SHUTTER button.
8. Adjust the Delay of " C" on the DG535 to maximize laser power. Final " C" delay is
normally between 100 µs and 300 µs.

To enable DAT

The Surelite laser may be directly controlled by user provided TTL level signals. Select this mode
of operation when the application requires laser output be synchronized with other occurrences.
Listed below are the steps necessary to externally trigger your Surelite.
