Gentec-EO MACH 6 - Manual (Page 37)

Mach 6 User’s Manual Revision 2.1 37
After the probe EPROM is written, Mach 6 will be reset to ensure the new data is
correctly read from the probe.
Exit
Exits the VI and returns to the main display. The new probe response table will be stored
and used until a new one is written by the user. It is persistent over a power down.
The Indicators are:
Wavelength (nm)
Wavelength in nm. Mach 6 will use this to determine the probe wavelength response
index for the new calibration factor for the wavelength in use.
Probe Response (%)
The calculated probe response at the wavelength in use. The VI uses the measured power
from the user input and the measured power from Mach 6 to calculate the new response
point. It then uses the new response and the selected wavelength to write the new point
into the probe EPROM.
Energy (J)
The mean pulse energy in the data set.
Average Frequency (Hz)
The measured average frequency of the data set.
Computed Average Power (W)
Average Power = Frequency x Energy.
Operating Mach 6 with the Applications Software
Plug the power supply and probe into the Mach 6 instrument. Start the application
software. The software will set itself to the Instrument Control Tab and initialize contact
with the instrument. It will then set itself to the Probe Data tab and read the required
information from the probe. The software will then configure itself for the ranges
appropriate to the probe and illuminate the Initialization Complete LED. The system is
now ready for use.
