V/I SCAN
V/I Scan should only be operated in Constant Current (CC)
Mode.
Start Current (A or mA):
Input the laser current value for the
scan to begin.
Stop Current (A or mA):
Input the laser current value for the
scan to end.
Current Step (A or mA):
Input the value the current should
increment each step.
Step Time (ms):
Input the amount of time the scan should
wait between steps, in milliseconds. The range is 2000 to
10000.
Begin V/I Scan:
Press the
Begin V/I Scan
button when the
scan is configured and is ready to begin.
Abort V/I Scan:
Press the
Abort V/I Scan
button to end a
scan.
V/I Scan Progress:
This indicator shows the progress of the
scan currently running.
Preparing Laser Scan:
This indicator is lit when the
Begin V/I
Scan
button has been pressed but the instrument is waiting
for Laser Current to reach stability at the start current. The
scan will abort if the current does not come in to tolerance
within 30 seconds.
Laser Scan in Progress:
This indicator is lit if the laser
current is being scanned.
LD Scan Folder:
Select a folder to save the laser scan data
in.
LD Scan Filename:
Name the file to be saved. The filename
input here will have the suffix "_YYYYMMDD_HHMM"
appended to it.
Save LD Scan Data:
Press
SAVE
to save the collected data
to the file path dictated by
LD Scan Folder
and the filename
provided in
LD Scan Filename
.
LD Scan Saved Filename:
This field will show the name of
the Saved LD Scan Data.
V/I Scan Plot:
This plot shows the collected data. Data points
are Laser Voltage (in Volts) as a function of Laser Current (in
A or mA). Plot is shown as a red line with square data points.
