MCS260B
CORNERSTONE 260B MONOCHROMATORS
50
Command:
CALIBRATE
Purpose:
Make a minor offset adjustment to the wavelength calibration. Use when
installing new gratings, or at any point when the wavelength calibration is
disrupted. Send this command to define the current position as the
wavelength specified in the parameter. Calculates a new offset for the
grating and saves it accordingly. A calibration procedure is outlined
elsewhere in this manual.
Parameter:
The actual wavelength at the output.
Example:
calibrate 587.1
: assuming the units are nanometers, change the
calibration so that the current grating location corresponds to 587.1
nanometers.
Command:
ECHO
Purpose:
Tell the CS260B to send back every character it receives on the RS-232
port.
Parameter:
1 to turn on echo, 0 to turn off.
Example:
Echo 0
: turn off echo.
Note:
For reverse compatibility, the
“info?” query enables echo mode (until power
is cycled).
Command:
ECHO?
Purpose:
Query the echo setting.
Example:
echo?
E.g. response:
1
: indicates echo is turned on.
Command:
ERROR?
Purpose:
Query the error byte. Note: see also the “system:error” query.
Example:
error?
E.g. response:
1
: indicates a command was unrecognized. See the Error Codes
section, later in this appendix.
Note:
This query is included for reverse compatibility with the older Cornerstone
models. The preferred error query is “system:error?”
