MCS260B
CORNERSTONE 260B MONOCHROMATORS
58
Command:
SLOWSTEP
Purpose:
Slowly step the grating rotation stage a desired number of steps.
Parameter:
The number of steps to take. The allowed range is -10000 to 10000. If
no parameter is given, the value previously
specified by the “stepsize”
command is used.
Example:
slowstep 1050
: slowly step the stage 1050 steps clockwise.
Example:
slowstep -50
: slowly step the stage 50 steps counterclockwise.
Note:
The
time between steps is approximately 10 msec.
Command:
STEP
Purpose:
Rapidly step the grating rotation stage a desired number of steps.
Parameter:
The number of steps to take, in the range -10000 to 10000. If no
parameter is given the value specified by the “stepsize” command is
used.
Example:
step 10000
: quickly step the stage 10000 steps clockwise.
Example:
step -500
: quickly step the stage 500 steps counterclockwise.
Command:
STEPSIZE
Purpose:
Set the number of steps to take when a “step” or “slowstep” command
is received with no parameter.
Parameter:
The number of steps to take, in the range -10000 to10000.
Example:
stepsize 10
: set the step size to 10 steps.
Default:
1 step.
Command:
STEPSIZE?
Purpose:
Query the step size setting.
Example:
stepsize?
E.g response:
20
: the step size has been set to 20.
Command:
SYSTem:ERRor?
Purpose:
See what error has occurred, if any. The response to this query is a
string containing an error code number and an error description. See
the Error Codes section in this Appendix for explanation and examples.
Example:
syst:err?
E.g response:
-224, Illegal Parameter Value
: the CS260B received a command with
a bad parameter value.
Example:
system:err?
E.g response:
403, Cannot Reach Wavelength
: the CS260B
can’t achieve the
desired wavelength using the current grating.
