This state is selected by pressing the READY button. The background for the title
text of the READY button is set to BLACK to indicate that this state is selected. A
two second delay is implemented before laser emission is enabled when the system
state changes from STANDBY to READY as a safety precaution.
The blue Ready indicator, “ ”, located below the control panel display is
illuminated when the laser is in the READY state. See Section 7 for the location of
the Ready indicator.
The window area below the System Status menu bar contains the buttons associated
with the Main Menu.
The laser operating parameters can each be set individually by the operator. To
change a parameter, press the appropriate button and use the up or down arrows to
adjust the value to the desired setting. The background for the selected parameter is
set to black to indicate that their numeric settings can be modified.
To ensure that the selected energy density is delivered accurately, the laser will
automatically require that a calibration procedure be performed if the Fluence
parameter has been changed. For safety purposes, the Fluence parameter will always
default to the lowest fluence for a given spot size when the laser is turned on.
