INIT PMDE MEM-BANK
Clears stored values from the selected PMD sequence memory bank and restores
it to its default configuration. When this option is selected, the following screen is
displayed:
The cursor will blink on the memory bank index position (A, in the current
example). Use the left and right arrows to select the desired memory bank, and
press ENTER to clear it. The instrument will ask the user to confirm the request to
clear the memory bank:
After the user confirms the data deletion, the screen will display:
When the reinitialization of the data bank is complete, the machine will beep and
the screen will return to the initialization confirmation screen:
Use the ESC key to return to the Setup menu or one of the function keys to access
a different menu.
4.2.3 PMDE:
The PMDPro has two operation modes for generating PMD values.
The discrete mode uses digital switching to generate PMD values according to the lookup
table (included on the cd). 6561 DGD/SOPMD pairs can be accessed this way. Some of
the SOPMD values in this set are wavelength dependent and some are wavelength
independent. The wavelength dependence of any particular value in this set can be
viewed using the PMD CALC function in the control program.
The quasi-continuous PMD generation mode allows full coverage of the PMD space. All
PMD values generated in this mode are wavelength independent over the operation
wavelength range of the PMDPro.
