Indicators
LAN - LED indicator light showing status of LAN connection. LED on (green) =
connected.
Power - LED indicator light. LED on (green) = AC power connected.
Connections
Connections on the rear of the Wavelength Control Unit are shown in Figure
17 above and described in Figure 18 .
Figure 18
SolsTiS wavelength control module
– description of rear
connections. Red connectors = SolsTiS umbilical
connectors. Blue connectors = monitor outputs, user
configurable via SolsTiS software UI.
The cable assembly that att
aches to the rear of the SolsTiS ‘ICE-BLOC’
wavelength control unit features four blocks of connectors and four MCX
coaxial connectors:
5-way and 4-way spring-cage block connectors
- should be connected to
the left hand side rear sockets of the controller, which are marked and keyed
to prevent accidental insertion into the wrong socket.
4 MCX connectors (circled red in
Figure 18
) -
should be
connected to the following MCX jacks: the cable marked ‘E’ should
be connected to the
ETALON PD
input; cable ‘O’ should be
connected to the
OUTPUT PD
jack; and, if applicable, cable ‘R’
should be connected to the
REF CAV PD
jack and cable ‘A’
connected to
AUXILIARY PD
2 MCX connectors (circled blue in Figure 18
– the two Monitor
outputs allow signals from the SolsTiS control electronics to be
viewed on an oscilloscope. The two Monitor outputs are for the
optional use of the SolsTiS operator, and the function they monitor
is user selectable via the SolsTiS UI. The reference cavity drive
input (REF CAV DRIVE), which is for use with model SolsTiS-SRX
only, can be used to scan the reference cavity, and hence SolsTiS’
frequency, by applying a suitable external drive signal to this jack
(see Caution notice above before attempting this).
AC Power -
standard IEC AC cable receptacle.
Note!
In order to use the REF CAV DRIVE input to
scan the reference cavity/ SolsTiS output frequency,
the resonator offset must first be set to 0% in the
control page of the user interface (see Section 3.5).
Caution!
The
ETALON DRIVE
,
RESONATOR
DRIVE
and
REF CAV DRIVE
inputs can be
damaged if incorrect voltage signals are applied.
Please refer to Appendix D for further information.
