o
Communication protocol – is open and available on request. Note: protection
mechanism against unauthorized changes is included in protocol, not in
software. This means that custom software also will have protection
mechanism against unauthorized changes.
Protections:
o
Laser diode Driver output voltage will be switched OFF in case of laser diode is
disconnected.
o
Laser diode Driver output voltage will be switched OFF in case of laser diode
circuit voltage drop is below programmable threshold (short circuit
conditions).
o
Laser diode Driver will be switched OFF in case of temperature, controlled by
connected NTC, is not in defined range.
o
Peltier driver will be switched OFF in case of temperature, controlled by
connected NTC, is not in defined range (control of conditions of short or open
NTC).
o
Power supply overvoltage or wrong polarity protections - can be active some
limited time period – user have to disconnect DC power source from the device
immediately if STATUS1 LED is not blinking and have to check that power
source independently.
5.4. Connecting Controller to PC
Although laser control software allows user to monitor and to control laser settings,
connection of laser
controller to PC is not required for successful laser operation
. It is however recommended to connect the
laser controller to PC with running JLV-SOFT9 while performing the first time switching ON of device.
Connect controller to a PC with a USB Type A - M - mini-USB Type B – M cable,
Please refer to the “JLV-SOFT9 User’s Manual” to become familiar with controller operation under
JLV-SOFT9 software.
