This applies to the Coherent UV-laser 653 II (Enterprise) and the Ar-multiline laser
•
Click on the

button.
−
Wait for the laser to heat up, until the
Status ready - Standby
message appears (approx. two
minutes).
•
Click on the

−
Status ready - On appears.
•
Use the
Output [%]
slider to set the laser power which is ideal for the measurement job.
Thus, the laser needed for image acquisition is available.
Argon:
Set output between 25 and 100 % of the maximum tube current. Optimum operation
is at 8 A (lowest laser noise). However, the laser life is reduced if the laser is constantly
operated at 8 A. Therefore, 8 A should be used only if this is absolutely necessary.
Enterprise:
Set output between 50 and 100 % of the maximum tube current. Optimum operation
is at 20 A (Tube Current; lowest noise). However, the laser life is reduced if the laser is
constantly operated at 20 A. Therefore, 20 A should be used only if this is absolutely
necessary.
To switch on the Enterprise laser, proceed as follows:
•
The internal water cooling LP 5 is running.
•
Start the PC, wait until NT system is booted.
•
Switch on the power supply of the Enterprise laser, power potentiometer turned to maximum.
•
Start the LSM 5 software.
Please bear in mind that a cooling phase of at least 5 minutes is required between switching off
of the laser via the software and switching off of the entire system via the REMOTE CONTROL
main switch or the Power Supply switch of the Enterprise UV laser.
If the LSM 5 software is already running and you want to use the UV laser, do the following:
•
Close the LSM 5 software.
•
Switch on the power supply of the Enterprise, power potentiometer turned to maximum.
•
Start the LSM 5 software again.
