Finally, the LDC−3700B Series Laser Diode Controller should be allowed to warm up for at least 1 
hour before calibration.

Recommended Equipment

Recommended test equipment for calibrating the LDC−3700B Series Laser Diode Controller is listed 
in Table 5.1.  Equipment other than that shown in the table may be used if the specifications meet or 
exceed those listed. 

You must connect various loads and circuits to the outputs of each controller for the calibration 
procedure.  A schematic is shown in Figure 5.1 for the photodiode calibration circuit with the 
required components listed in Table 5.2 on page 115.  Also, the devices required for other 
calibration loads are listed in Table 5.2.
