3
or damaged fibre tips will give unsatisfactory results.
5. The target laser should be directed into the other end of the fibre
patch cord.
Note that a lens is not needed; the bare fibre will
normally couple sufficient light. A few nanowatts is good, though
when first setting up, a few microwatts will make life much easier.
6. The device can operate standalone, but initially it is best to use
a Windows
TM
computer and the
mogwave
software application, as
described in chapter 4.
1.2
Software installation
The
MWM
can be used directly from many standard laboratory data ac-
quisition systems such as
python
,
matlab
or
LabVIEW
, via simple text
commands.
A simple example is included in chapter C. We also pro-
vide a standalone
GUI
application,
mogwave
, which runs under Microsoft
Windows
TM
.
To install the
mogwave
application, run the appropriate installer, for ex-
ample
mogwave_setup.exe
, available from the
MOGL
abs website:
http://www.moglabs.com/wavemeter.html
1.2.1
USB drivers
When you connect the
MWM
, your computer should automatically find and
install
USB
drivers from the Windows
TM
update service.
If not, in the
install directory (typically
c:\Program Files\MOGLabs
) you should find the
USB_VCPdriver
folder which will contain setup programs for 32-bit and 64-
bit systems.
If you have problems connecting with USB, in particular no driver found:
1. Ensure the device is connected to your computer via USB cable.
2. Double-click the appropriate 32-bit or 64-bit driver from the
USB_VCPdriver
folder in the install directory, typically
c:\Program Files\MOGLabs
.
