4.5 Out-of-the-Box Test
It is simple to test the DMH40 "out of the box". You do not need even a light source or other op-
tical equipment - just your eyes:
·
Connect the DMH40 to the power supply and to the PC with installed software.
·
Start the Deformable Mirror software. The DMH40 is initialized.
·
Look onto the mirror surface and change the position until you can see your eye's pupil.
·
Press the "Relax" button in the toolbar and observe the diameter of your pupil. The Relax
function changes the mirror segment voltages in such way that the mirror surface altern-
ates between concave and convex, changing the diameter of the reflected pupil of your
eyes.
