Crystal
Select either the VIS/NIR or NIR/IR AOTF crystal. The “Band view” is displayed for
the crystal selected.
Note: The Crystal selection (i.e. the AOTF selection) is locked when a single ERD
is equipped with the system RF power ON (see “RF Power button” on page 46 ).
For dual External RF Driver systems, the crystal selection is available (when two
RF driver signals are present) and channels can be activated on both AOTFs.
Note: To change crystals on a single ERD system, remove the channels from the
current Crystal and turn OFF the RF power from the ERD.
Channel buttons and text input fields
8 channel buttons and their settings are available for each crystal. You can set
the power level and wavelength of each channel using the input text fields or
clicking the set button. Clicking the channel button ON (green) enables the
channel and it appears as a numbered symbol in the “Band view” . When the
channel button is ON and laser emission is enabled, an output beam emits from
the crystal at the set channel parameters.
Set button
Instead of the band view, you can display sliders for each channel. Click the set
button to display the sliders for the channel setting. Click-hold and adjust the
sliders with your mouse to set the power and center wavelength of the channel.
To close the slider view, click the X in the upper right corner.
