1.2.5.5 Alternate shutter modes
SR470 Series Laser Shutters may have alternate operation modes
available, for example alternate speed modes. The possible modes
are numbered 0 through 3, and their function is hardware dependent;
please see the shutter head operation manual for details.
To configure the shutter to operate in an alternate mode, press
[Shift][Align].
The numeric display will display (for example)
“
” to indicate that alternative mode 0 is currently selected.
The arrow keys or numeric keypad can then be used to change the
value.
Important note: Alternate mode settings are stored in the volatile
memory of the shutter head, not in the SR470; the mode setting is
lost whenever the SR470 or the shutter head is unplugged, powered
down, or otherwise reset.
