Chapter 6 PC Operation

6.1 Introduction

The following brief tutorial guides the user through a typical series of moves and

parameter adjustments performed using the Kinesis software. It assumes that the unit

is electrically connected as described in Section 4.2. and that the software is already

installed - see Section 4.1.

6.2 Using the Kinesis Software

The Kinesis software application allows the user to interact with any number of

hardware control units connected to the PC USB Bus. This program allows multiple

graphical instrument panels to be displayed so that multiple units can be controlled.

All basic operating parameters can be set through this program, and all basic

operations (such as motor moves) can be initiated. Parameter settings can be saved,

which simplifies system set up whenever the software is run up.

Fig. 6.1 Typical Kinesis User Screen

1) Run the Kinesis software - Start/All Programs/Thorlabs/Kinesis/Kinesis

Warning

As the unit is raised and lowered, items can become trapped in the mechanism.

During operation, keep fingers, clothing and tools away from any moving parts.

Note

If the Kinesis software does not recognise the unit, switch OFF the power but leave the

kinesis software running and the USB connected. Wait around 30 seconds then switch

the power ON. Kinesis should now load the unit.
