SHIFT LABEL
This key (located directly above GRAT) provides access to the
grating label. The label is an eight character alpha-numeric field
that is used for information only. Newport assigns the grating
blaze wavelength to the label during calibration. (You can also
change the label usin
g the “grat1label” command.) You can use
the keypad to type any number for the label, then press ENTER
to accept that new value. The Hand Controller only shows the first
four characters of the label.
LINES
Press this key to change the lines/mm of the grating. This value
is used for wavelength calculations and will affect your calibration.
This parameter should be changed only when adding a new
grating.
SHIFT CALIB
This button is used to change the wavelength calibration of the
current grating. Use the GO WAVE, STEP DOWN, and STEP UP
keys to move to a known wavelength (often the intensity peak for
a spectral calibration lamp). If the wavelength shown in the top
row of the display does not match the known value, press SHIFT
CALIB and use the numeric keypad to enter the known
wavelength. Then press ENTER to change the calibration.
SHUTTER
Open or close the shutter by pressing this button. The shutter
position is shown in the display as “OPN” for open and “CLS” for
closed.
SHIFT PORT
Use this button to
select the output port. Enter the number “1” to
make light exit from t
he Axial port, and the number “2” for the
Lateral port.
FILTER
Use this button to rotate the filter wheel (e.g. 74010) to a filter
location. Type in the desired filter number (1-6) and press Enter.
SHIFT LABEL
This key (located directly above FILTER) provides access to the
filter label. These labels are eight character alphanumeric fields,
used for information only. You can use the keypad to type any
number, then press ENTER to accept that new value. The Hand
Controller only shows the first four characters of the label.
LOCAL
Use this key to enable or disable communication through the
Hand Controller.
SHIFT UNITS
To change the wavelength units press this key, followed by either
1, 2, or 3 and then press ENTER. The three number keys are
labeled with the corresponding units: 1 is nanometers (nm), 2 is
micrometers (µm), and 3 is wave numbers (cm
-1
).
SHIFT
Press this key to enable the top-half command of any applicable
key.
SHIFT DEL
Press this key to delete a number in an entry.
ENTER
Press this key to complete a command, where applicable and
denoted above. If you do not press the Enter key within 10
