Introduction to the MPS-8033 Front Panel

Introduction to the MPS-8033 Front Panel
The MPS−8033 front panel contains LED displays, switches, and a knob for control of the laser
output. Each of the labeled areas on the front panel (i.e. GPIB, MODE, or OUTPUT) and the display
and adjustment sections of the front panel, are described in a separate subsection in this chapter.
The controls are designed to be intuitive and simple to operate.

Front Panel Familiarization

Refer to Figure 2.1 for the following discussions of the 8033 front panel sections. The key words are
in bold type for easy identification.

General Functions

The POWER KEYLOCK switch is used to supply AC Power to the MPS−8033.
The ADJUST KNOB is used for entering values such as the output power, calibration values or
setting the GPIB address.
To the left of the adjust knob are the display switches. The DISPLAY MODE switch changes the
display units between: 1) linear (milliwatts), 2) log relative to one mW (dBm) and, 3) relative log
(dB) scales. The SET REFERENCE switch establishes the power reference for the dB scale and it
also changes the display units to dB.
At power−up, the 8033 will be configured to the same state that was present at the last power−down.
