4 SDK Registers and Tabs
The Software Development Kit (SDK) allows access to registers controlling the
module’s operating parameters using its Generic User Interface (Generic UI). For
general operation it is recommended to use CONTROL. This section’s purpose is to
illustrate how to use the Generic User Interface to set the laser’s operating
parameters.
Table 7 presents the registers by their function with a link to a detailed
description.
Table 7 Generic user interface registers
Note: This chapter introduces the Generic UI and its registers. For a full description of
the SDK, registers and using the Generic User Interface, refer to the NKT Photonics
document:
