For the example below the optimal wavelength calibration value is determined at micrometer step
number 283.
SH Shutter-Motor (Slitmask Motor) Timing Test
The SH test determines the optimum value for the timing constant used in the control of the
slitmask motor.
Measurements of the Dark Count, and light intensity of the tungsten-halogen (standard) lamp are
taken through the HG and Wavelength 1 slits for a range of motor-delay constants. Observations
are typically made over a range of 20 different values for the delay constant.
Method:
Send the PDHPHG command sequence to the Brewer, wait for the tests to finish.
The SH command is entered to start the slitmask-motor timing test. The program prompts for the
minimum, maximum, and increment for trial values of the delay constant. Typical values are a
minimum value of 2, a maximum of 30, and an increment of 2. After a five-minute lamp warm-up
period, the program performs a series of intensity measurements for each trial value of the timing
constant, then prints the measurements in tabular format. The following information is contained in
the printout:
