Selecting the Fixture
The TC-3 has integrated support for other commencially available
mounts, such as the 204 TEC Butterfly LaserMount . To simplify
operation when using these mounts, you can change the Mount
setting in the menu to the mount type you are using. By selecting a
mount, the current limit, temperature limits, default gain, and sensor
settings are automatically adjusted to values appropriate to the mount,
and menu settings limited to the capabilities of the mount. For
example, when the 204 is selected, the
Sensor setting is hidden from
the menu, and the current limit is adjusted to the mount’s rated limit
to prevent damage to the mount’s Peltier cooler.
Adjusting the Mount setting to User Defined removes all software
limits, allowing unrestricted operation of the TC-3 .
Remote Mode Operation
Remote mode operation is when the TC-3 is being controlled by a
computer over the USB or RS232 interfaces. When in remote mode, the
TC-3 behaves differently, preventing you from affecting the operation
of the instrument. Some of the primary differences are you will not be
able to change the set point, you cannot enter the menu, and the knob
is disabled.
You can exit remote mode at any time by pressing the MENU button,
which has a secondary function to return the
TC-3 to local operation
when in remote mode.
While in remote mode, the Remote LED also acts as an activity
indicator, and will flash whenever there is communication with the
computer.
Details on how to communicate with the TC-3 can be found in a
separate Computer Interfacing Manual, which can be found on the
Arroyo Instruments Website.
