Page 4: Brief Introduction And Hrs-300 Description
HRS spectrographs feature the AccuDrive scanning system for superior accuracy and repeatability. Toroidal mirrors correct for astigmatism to permit multichannel fiber applications. Interchangeable triple grating turrets are standard, allowing the HRS-300 to be optimized for the spectral region of interest. Two 30mm wide focal planes are available to accommodate virtually any array detector and a wide selection of accessories, cameras and software are available to meet the requirements of most spectroscopic applications. -

Page 8: Hrs-300 Setup
LightField automatically detects the presence of the HRS-300 and PI camera when connected using a USB cable and automatically sets up all the operating parameters for the HRS-300 and the array detector. For more information on optional LightField software, please visit the PI website. -

0.67” and 1.00”, then no spacer is required. 1. The HRS-300 includes a sliding tube detector that fits inside the front or side ports of the HRS-300. A split clamp secures the sliding tube. Refer to the picture below and note the access location for the 9/64 Allen wrench to loosen or tighten the split clamp. - Page 10 3. Remove the shipping cover from the sliding tube and the spacer if it is not required. Remove the black plastic washers from the three hex head screws and reinsert the screws into the sliding tube adapter. Position the array detector mounting flange against the array detector, and match the hole patterns.
- Page 11 Using a 5/16” wrench, fasten the array detector mounting flange to the detector by tightening the three hex-head screws. Then carefully slide this assembly back into the HRS- 300 housing. Tighten the split clamp to secure the detector. Note: the detector is now mounted; however, it requires focusing and alignment to the spectrograph for optimum performance (see Page 18).

Page 12: Slit Width Adjustment For 716 Bilateral Slits
Model 716 Bilateral Slit: Width Adjustments The slit width of each bilateral slit assembly (716 type) is adjustable from 0.010 millimeters to 3 millimeters (10µm to 3,000µm) by a micrometer located on the top of the slit housing. The micrometer knob is graduated in 0.010 millimeter (10µm) increments. -

A. Initialization When power is turned ON to the HRS-300, it initializes to a wavelength of 0.0nm for grating number one. If the power is switched OFF and then ON again to the HRS-300, it will re-initialize. Initialization gives the system a reference, or starting position to keep track of wavelength position, grating location, and other parameters. - Page 14 Diverter Mirror Control Commands: EXIT-MIRROR Designates the exit diverter mirror to receive the diverter control commands. This command is for HRS spectrographs that can accept two diverter mirrors (HRS-500 and HRS-750). HRS-300 spectrographs will accept this command but it is not required.
- Page 15 ENT-MIRROR Designates the entrance diverter mirror to receive the diverter control commands. This command is for HRS spectrographs that can accept two diverter mirrors. The SP-300i monochromators will not accept this command. FRONT Moves the designated diverter mirror to position the beam to the front port position. SIDE Moves the designated diverter mirror to position the beam to the side port position.
- Page 16 Same as MONO-RESET. Used to maintain compatibility with existing applications. MODEL Returns model number of the spectrograph/monochromator. E.G. MODEL HRS-300-S SERIAL Returns serial number of HRS spectrograph/monochromator. Format is 7 digits with the first 3 digits being the model #. E.G. SERIAL 3060232...
- Page 17 INIT-GRATING Selects which of the three gratings on the installed turret the SpectraPro will go to after finding 0.0 nm on the first grating of the installed turret. E.G. 2 INIT-GRATING selects the second grating as the default. Accepts values 1 - INIT-WAVELENGTH Sets an initial wavelength for the SpectraPro after initialization.

Page 18: Focusing And Aligning Ccd Array Detectors
With the array detector properly mounted to the HRS-300, use the following procedure to align and focus the array detector to the HRS-300 optical system. It assumes that the array detector is mounted to the HRS-300 and running for the following procedure. -

The following command is used to return all grating parameters and start-up parameters to the original factory settings. Note that any gratings installed at a later date (after initially receiving the HRS-300) will be erased from memory using this “restore command”. -
