Spectrometer Interfaces - Redback RS40k User Manual

5.2 Spectrometer Interfaces

NOTE: Do not connect the RS40k echelle spectrometer to any PC prior to installing
the software application and device drivers. Please use the included USB 3.0 cable to
connect the detector with your PC or laptop.
The spectrometer interfaces are shown in Figure 1. The device has four mounting slots
which are machined into the aluminium housing. Off-the-shelf mounting hardware (e.g.
Thorlabs CL5A) can be used to secure the device onto the optical table. Make sure not
to overtighten the screws as this could result in permanent deformation of the rubber
feet and can also exert stress onto the housing which can negatively affect the
performance of the device.
