3.6 Interlock
The hardware interlock is a safety feature, accessible via the INTERLOCK connector on the
rear panel. By default, a short circuit jumper is installed to the 2.5 mm phone jack.
Instead of the jumper, an external emergency switch (opener) can be connected to the inter-
lock.

3.8 Software
Download
As Thorlabs aims to contribute to saving our environment, we decided to refrain from shipping
an installation CD ROM or USB flash drive and to offer a download of the software from our
website instead. As an additional advantage to this distribution method, the most recent version
of the software will always be available online.
The Chrolis software package can be downloaded from the Thorlabs website .
Note
Do not connect the Chrolis to the PC during software installation! Please make sure that the in-
stallation is carried out completely, including the reboot requests. Exit all running applications
on your PC as the installer may require a reboot of your PC during installation!
