1. General information Please read this manual carefully, it describes the hazard the user might be exposed to while using the product. It also explains in details how to use the product in the safest and more efficient way possible. The safety of any system incorporating the product is the responsibility of the assembler of the system.
WARNING the maintenance and servicing of the CCS-I should not be executed by the end user : only AERODIODE is able to maintain the CCS-I. 2. Safety Instructions 2.1 Wiring Caution Please first connect the input pins to the board and then plug the DC Power Supply.
• 1 CCS-I • 1 DC Power Supply (+12V / 4A) • 1 USB-Jack FTDI cable • 1 USB Key with “Aerodiode Control Software Suite” & User manual in pdf • 1 User Manual 4. Product Overview 4.1 Front view of the product 1.
SMA TTL/LVTTL input voltage connector. The signal must be between 0 and +3.3V on 50 ohms. 4. Power alarm indicator Red LED indicates that the maximal allowed power is reached. If the red light is on, turn down the power with the 6 or 7 control. 5.
BNC output connector for alarm status (Power or Temperature) monitor. The signal is an inverse TTL, so a +5 V output voltage level corresponds to alarm OFF. 6. Interlock (optional) Input connector for interlock control. It must be shunt in order to have a laser emission. 7.
Click on Connect to start the CCS-I hardware detection. The software will automatically detect any USB-connected CCS-I. A new window will appear for each module. 6. Software overview Page 8/14 – v3.3...

CCS-I serial Line number number (address) Control Offset parameter DC parameter Temperature Pulse parameters Interlock status The window is divided in four parts: Triggers in the Control part are used to select the operating mode Numeric boxes in the Pulse Parameters part are used to configure the pulse width, amplitude and repetition rate Page 9/14 –...
The Offset parameter (pulsed mode only) or the DC parameter (CW only) are used to configure the DC current (offset in pulse mode) The Temperature numeric box is used to set the laser diode temperature The Interlock status is ON (green) when the interlock connector is plugged The product serial number is written on the top left of the window.
7.3 Trigger and pulse width selection This three positions switch controls the trigger and the pulse width adjustment. It is only effective in pulsed operation. Internal trigger Internal pulse width adjustment (all software) External trigger (SMA) Internal pulse width adjustment External trigger External pulse width adjustment (all from SMA)
The values which can be entered in these numerical boxes are limited. The limits mainly depend on various parameters such as the wavelength and the maximum allowed optical power. 7.5 Offset/DC current This item is settable in pulsed and CW operation. It rules the continuous current flowing through the laser diode.
Config o General config : Restricted access to internal configuration parameters. Please use only this when asked by AERODIODE. o Starting mode : The user can select a starting mode from 4 possible modes which set the product...
