eDrive Nitro
The eDrive Nitro is a menu driven diode driver and laser controller. The eDrive
Nitro regulates the diode drive current, controls the acousto-optic (AO) Q-switch
pulses, controls the temperature of the SHG crystal, and monitors the various
interlocks. The front panel provides an emergency stop button to halt laser output.
WARNING
: The emergency stop should only be used in an emergency situation. For
normal operation use the shutter or emission buttons to halt laser output.
