Operating basics
The OM4000 also makes use of a third party program, MATLAB by MathWorks,
which must be installed on the same PC as the other two applications. The
OUI automatically launches the MATLAB application and then interfaces with
MATLAB using engine mode. The user does not have to interact with MATLAB
for basic operation of the OM4000.
The Laser Receiver Control Panel (LRCP) user interface
The Laser-Receiver Control Panel application (LRCP) is used to control a variety
of Integratable Tunable Laser Assembly (ITLA) lasers. The LRCP interface
simpli
fi es the control of the lasers, eliminating the need to use low level ITLA
commands. The interface automates locating and con fi guring all OM devices that
are present on the local network. It also provides a Windows Communication
Foundation (WCF) service interface, allowing Automated Test Equipment (ATE)
to interact directly with the controllers and lasers while LRCP is running.
The main components of the LRCP user interface are:
Menu tabs: Lists available application actions.
Controller tabs: Each tab represents one physical Laser Control device (for
example, an OM4000 or an OM2210) on the network. The tab shows the
controls for the one or more lasers that are associated with the device.
Status bar: provides important information about the overall state of the
communications with the controllers. Each controller has a unique status bar.
Receiver gauge: This gauge displays the total photocurrent output
from an instrument. This readout is only functional on devices like the
OM4000 instrument that have the appropriate hardware installed.
