16.3 KEY REFERENCE
These commands are listed based on the key locations from the top of the controller to the bottom
and left to right.
ABORT
If you accidentally press a function key or enter a bad parameter
you may press the ABORT key to clear that command before it
executes. The ABORT key has no effect on a command once the
command is executed. Another way to terminate an entry is to
simply not press more keys: after 10 seconds the controller will
remove the entry from the screen and terminate it.
STEP DOWN
Press this key once to move the Cornerstone to shorter
wavelengths by the smallest possible increment. Holding this key
causes (fairly) rapid single stepping toward lower wavelengths.
To move a larger number of steps at once, press SHIFT, STEP
DOWN, enter the number of steps to move, and press ENTER.
STEP UP
Press this key once to move the Cornerstone to higher
wavelengths by the smallest possible increment. Holding this key
causes rapid single stepping toward higher wavelengths. To
move a larger number of steps at once, press SHIFT, STEP UP,
enter the number of steps to move, and press ENTER.
GO WAVE
This key moves the grating rotation stage to a specified output
wavelength. Press GO WAVE, then use the keypad to enter the
desired wavelength, and finally press ENTER to execute the
move.
SLIT 1
Use this key to enter the new slit width for slit 1 (in microns).
SHIFT SLIT 2
Use this key to enter the new slit width for slit 2.
SLIT 3
Use this key to enter the new slit width for slit 3.
SHIFT BAND
Use this key to enter a new bandpass setting.
GRAT
Press this key to move to another grating position. Press GRAT,
then press 1, 2, 3, or 4
2
on the keypad, and press ENTER to
execute the change. The display will update to show the correct
