Getting Started

Connect the TLS to the appropriate interface, turn it on and run the
Configuration Wizard. The TLS should then be listed under "Misc.
Instruments".
Don't forget the BNC trigger cable
.
Some laser sources need a trigger cable connected to the N778xB/BD.
Refer to User's Guide (Part No. N7781-90001) for details on how to
connect the trigger cable.
Run the Configuration Wizard
Now that the software is installed and the instrument is connected and
turned on, you can start the polarizationNAVIGATOR™ software and run
the Configuration Wizard.
On first startup the Configuration Wizard will come up automatically. If you
want to rerun the Configuration Wizard, you can click on the button
named Wizard or click on
Tools > Configuration Wizard
in the menu.
Please follow the instructions shown in the dialog box.
Instruments of the N778xBD family only require execution of the
Configuration Wizard if external devices are connected via GPIB
(e.g. tunable laser sources).
Using the N778xB/BD GPIB Interface (Remote GPIB)
The N778xB/BD instrument can be used as GPIB-Master to control
third-party instruments. This mode is referred to as Remote GPIB. In that
case, the N778xB/BD has to be connected to the PC via the USB port.
We recommend connecting your GPIB instrument to the GPIB port of the
N778xB/BD instrument and running the Configuration Wizard.
Go to
Tools > Options > Remote GPIB
to change the settings manually. If
you have one or more N778xB/BD instrument connected to your PC via
USB, you can select the instrument you want to use as remote GPIB
interface by its accordant serial number listed in the drop-down menu. For
using the internal GPIB interface of an external computer please choose
PC internal (VISA).
