3.4 Main setting knob

LDC340 / Page 20

WIN

lights up if the temperature window function of a TED 350 connected

to the LDC340 via BNC cable protects the laser from being switched

on.

OTP

lights up if the internal temperature of the LDC340 is too high. Please

wait until the LED extinguishes. Then the LDC340 can be operated

again.

INTERLOCK

lights up if the interlock loop is open.

3.4 Main setting knob

By means of this 10-turn setting knob the set values or actual values for laser

current, monitor current or optical power are set according to operating mode and

status.

If the laser current is switched off the LED “PRESET“ will light up. The set value of

the selected parameter is displayed.

If the laser current is switched on the LED “PRESET“ will remain off. The actual value

of the selected parameter is displayed.

3.5 Mode Select

Four modes of operation can be selected by consecutively pressing the "mode

select" key:

•

Constant current mode in the high current range (version dependent)

•

Constant current mode in the low current range (version dependent)

•

Constant power mode using an internal monitor diode

•

Constant power mode using an external monitor diode

A corresponding LED indicates the selected mode.
