can still use window hyper terminal to monitor the laser, in this condition, you must connect

‘RS-232’ to your computer.

4.9.2 The Operation in AD Mode

Before you start the laser, check the wiring, cooling connection and the most important, the

delivery cable and optic terminal are OK. Make sure that the interlock is shorted, and the laser

emission button is up (emission disabled). Then start the chiller.

Turn the key to ‘REM’ position to start the laser, and system start self-check. If the interlock is

not shorted or the ‘LASER’ button is pressed down, the system self-check cannot pass. In this

condition, you must power off the laser, and deal with the problem, then start the laser again.

The system self-check will pass in about 30 seconds, after that, the laser is ready to receive

analog signal, and you can press down ‘LASER’ button to enable the laser emission.

In AD mode, the laser emits on conditions that ‘LASER’ button is pressed down, analog signal is

received and remote modulation signal inputs from ‘MOD’.

You can still use hyper terminal to monitor the status of the laser. All you have to do is to start

windows hyper terminal, and configure it as stated in 4.7.2 Hyper Terminal Setup. But you can’t

set operation parameters from hyper terminal when the control mode is AD.

CAUTION

Please ensure that the analog signal DOES NOT exceed 10V, or

product may be damaged.

4.10 The control of pilot laser

Turn the key to ‘REM’ or ’ON’ position to start the laser, and the system start. The POWER

indicator lights up, the pilot laser lights up simultaneously. After you press down the LASER

button , the pilot laser lights out.
