APPENDIX II: HAND CONTROLLER COMMANDS
The optional
74009 Hand Controller is designed specifically for use with Oriel’s Cornerstone series
monochromators and MS260i spectrographs. It is very easy to set up
– simply plug it into the ins trument
and it’s ready to go. There is no need to purchase a computer and set up software. The Hand Controller
is a convenient option in locations where security is an issue.
There is no need to memorize commands or key sequences. The 24 keys are clearly labeled with
functions like “Shutter”, “Go Wave” and “Filter”. The display provides information about the grating
selection, grating line density, active filter position, current wavelength, and shutter status. Using the
Hand Controller provides access to nearly all the functionality of the monochromators and spectrographs.
It comes with a 14-foot [4.3 meter] long cable.

USING THE KEYPAD
Some keys are divided into top and bottom halves. The function for the top
half is called a “shifted”
function. To activate these commands press the SHIFT key in the bottom left corner and then
press the function key.
Many of the Cornerstone commands require a numeric parameter. First, press the function key for
the command. The bottom line of the display will then show an abbreviated form of the command .
Use the numeric keys to enter a new value. To execute the command press the ENTER key in the
bottom right corner.
While entering parameters, if you mistype one digit press SHIFT and then DEL (above the decimal
point in the numeric keypad); this will move backward one display position and delete that
character. Or, press the Abort key, or wait ten seconds, and the display will terminate the entry.
