Select the appropriate COM Port for the DFB-B determined earlier
in this manual. Set this value first before running the program.
These boxes are for entering in the desired laser diode driving
current and TEC temperature values. Adjusting the Current
setting will increase or decrease the optical output power, and
changing the TEC temperature will set the TEC to the desired
value, affecting the wavelength.
The maximum setting for the current is limited by the hardware,
and the TEC Point is limited between 15-35C.
Please note that the changes are not set in place until the
adjacent Set button is pressed; any changes will go into effect in
about 2-3 seconds.
NOTE: Changes cannot be made to current unless the laser
output is enabled.
These display the current set points and optical output power
readings for each individual laser channel module.
Shaped as a button, press this will initialize the program, and
allow for the settings to be adjusted.
Pressing this button will stop the program, however the individual
lasers will still be active. You will need to turn off the benchtop
system to disable the laser output.
