Appendix E: Monochromator Control
Software
As has been previously discussed in this manual, the Acton IsoPlane spectrograph can be
controlled using Princeton Instruments’ LightField, WinSpec, or SpectraSense software. It
can also controlled from a computer using the supplied Monochromator Control software
via the RS-232 or USB interface. Information about how to do this is provided in this
appendix.
E.1 Install the Monochromator Control Software
The Monochromator Control software is a stand-alone Acton software program for basic
scanning and calibration. Utilities for grating updates and communications are also
included.
The software is installed using the install disk shipped with the monochromator. Typically,
the software is installed in the following directory:
C:\Program Files\Princeton Instruments\MonoControl
This directory also includes the following subdirectories:
•
Bin
The executable code for the program is stored in this subdirectory.
•
Data
During program installation, a
Monochromator Control
icon is typically placed on the
desktop for launching the software. If an icon is not placed on the desktop, the program can
be launched using one of the following methods:
•
Windows Start —> Programs
•
Navitage directly to the
C:\Program Files\Princeton Instruments\MonoControl\Bin
directory and double-click on the program’s executable file.
Once the Monochromator Control software loads, its primary screen provides options for
monochromator operation as well as other setup functions.
NOTE:
If these options are grayed out, exit the program and connect the
IsoPlane. Once the IsoPlane has been initialized, launch the
monochromater control program again.
Clicking the
Operation
button displays a screen from which basic control of the
monochromator wavelength is performed.
REFERENCES:
Refer to the Monochrometer Control manual included on the
software installation CD for complete information.
