2. Standalone operation
For full functionality, the
MOGL
abs
MWM
should be used with the
mogwave
Windows
TM
-based application package provided (see chapter 4), but it can
also be operated as a standalone instrument using the pushbuttons and
on-screen menu system. The
MWM
also offers a web interface (see chapter
3) for operation with a web browser, for example on a smartphone.
2.1
On-device measurements
There are currently four modes of measurement operation which can be
selected using the pushbuttons.
Off
The
MWM
is waiting for commands via ethernet/
USB
or the web interface,
or for pushbutton activation of one of the other measurement modes.
On
The
MWM
measures and displays the wavelength ten times per second.
The measurement units can be adjusted via the menu system (see below).
The
MWM
automatically adjusts exposure time, and uses one-dimensional
measurement of the spectral peak location.
PID with display
The
MWM
measures continually at maximum speed, and activates
PID
control to vary the output voltage via the
SMA
connector to lock a
laser to a wavelength that can be specified through the menu system. The
measured wavelength is displayed on the device
LCD
screen.
PID no display
As above, but the
LCD
screen shows the desired setpoint wave-
length and is not updated with the actual measured wavelength.
This
allows the
MWM
to measure much more rapidly, at over 1250 measure-
ments per second.
2.2
Front panel display and buttons
The pushbuttons can be used to start on-device measurements, access
on-device menus, and initiate firmware upgrades.
