Hand-Held Controller - THORLABS ELL6 Operating Manual

ELL6K Dual Position Optics Slider Kit

4.2.1. Hand-held Controller

Caution
On power up the stage will move while the unit checks the sensors and then searches for the home position.
The ELL6K Evaluation Kit also contains a hand-held controller, which features two buttons (marked FW and BW)
that allow manual switching between the two slider positions. The handset also provides for connection to the
host PC and/or to an external 5V power supply. The external PSU connector allows the slider to be used in the
absence of a PC, with control being achieved via the handset buttons.
LED1 is lit when power is applied to the unit. LED2 is lit when the device being driven is in motion. Note. The JOG
button has no function and is reserved for future development.
