Baud Rate Default
The default baud rate is 19200. The GUI auto detects the rate, and will not run at any lower than 19200.
If you are having problems communicating with the laser, check the baud rate by turning the front panel
key switch. The system shows where the baud rate is currently set.
Inspecting and Unpacking
Before You Begin
Before unpacking, setting up, or operating the
Quasar
laser or any of its components, review the
safety information in Chapter 2, “Laser Safety and Compliance.”
Inspecting the Shipment
Your
Quasar
laser was packed with great care and its container was inspected prior to shipment—
it left Spectra-Physics in good condition. Upon receiving your system, immediately inspect the
outside of the shipping container. If there is any major damage (holes in the container, crushing,
etc.), insist that a representative of the carrier be present when you unpack the contents.
The three components of the
Quasar
system—the
Quasar
laser head, the
Quasar
power supply
(
QPS
), and the optional chiller—are shipped in separate crates.
The system is delivered in two crates (three if a chiller is ordered). Ensure you have enough space
in a clean environment to unpack the laser. Save all packaging material so if it becomes necessary
to return the laser it can be shipped in the proper containers.
System Components
Crate 1:
Power supply and accessory kit; includes all cables, power cords, keys, interlocks, and
any optional items like hoses and fittings
Crate 2: Chiller (optional); includes Nalco, hoses, and AC power cords
Crate 3: Laser head
NOTE:
The standard shipping configuration is with the exoskeleton installed. If lifting handles are
ordered they are mounted to the laser for shipment. If the optional shutter is ordered it is also
installed on the laser.
NOTE:
If the optional chiller is not ordered, and hoses are ordered they will be packaged with the Quasar
Power Supply.
