be turned on, the Lamp On state will be indicated, and the light source is ready
to be used.
If the interlock is open, the interlock open state will be indicated. Note that the
Controller Fault LED on the EQ-99 Power Supply Controller will be lit, but
because fault is caused by the interlock, only the interlock icon will be displayed.
Immediately after closing the interlock, the controller interface will indicate a fault
for a brief period of time until the fault can be cleared by the
EQ-99 Manager
. A
controller fault that persists for more than a couple of seconds after the interlock
is closed indicates a different problem. When dealing with either a lamp fault or a
persistent controller fault, consult the EQ-99 User’s Manual for more information
on how to address this problem.
Shutter Operation
Control over the optional shutter can be done one of three ways: the front panel
button, the shutter trigger input, or over the USB interface. The VFD display will
actively remote the state of the shutter, as will the Open/Close LEDs. The icons
are as follows:
Icon
Shutter State
Shutter Closed
Shutter Open
The shutter offers two modes of operation: manual and exposure. In manual
mode, a press of the shutter button will open or close the shutter, and the
shutter will remain in that state.
In exposure mode, the shutter is opened for a defined exposure time and then
closed. Pressing the shutter button when the shutter is closed will open the
shutter and automatically close the shutter after the programmed exposure time.
Pressing the shutter button while the shutter is open will immediately close the
shutter.
The
Shutter Trigger
input BNC on the front of the unit provides an external
trigger input for synchronizing the shutter with external events. The trigger can
be configured for either edge or level sensitivity. There are five trigger modes:
Edge, Pos
Any positive edge will cause a trigger of the shutter system.
