To do this you must perform the following procedure. - Page 17 4-Channel Fiber-Coupled Laser Source Chapter 4: Operation Viewing Channel Information The MCLS uses a single LCD display to access the information for each output channel. At any time, the display can be adjusted to view another channel by simply rotating the control knob located to the left of the display. The display will scroll through the channels until the desired channel is selected.
- Page 18 4-Channel Fiber-Coupled Laser Source Chapter 4: Operation temperature set point. The temperature default is 25.00 C but can be adjusted over a range of 20.00 to 30.00 C with a resolution of 0.01 C. Note: As above, there is a timeout where the display will revert to the viewing display and lock out adjustment to the temperature.
