Setting | When Needed | Notes | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
Build | Observing | Maintenance | ||
Number of measurements 'n' to include in average. | YES | NO | MAYBE | Perhaps start with 10 |
Time delay 't' between measurements used for average. | YES | NO | MAYBE | Perhaps start with 0.5 seconds. |
Device setup parameters follow: | ||||
Set offset subtraction | YES | NO | MAYBE | Equivalent to “ZERO” button on device. Default KPF default should be ‘Z0’ (no offset subtraction). |
Set calibration wavelength | YES | NO | MAYBE | Equivalent to wavelength buttons on device. Default KPF default value should be 658 nm. Remote command might be 'W0658'. |
Set attenuator mode | YES | NO | MAYBE | “ATTN” button on device. Default KPF default should be set to ‘off’ (i.e. no attenuator in place). Remote command is ‘A0’ |
Set measurement units | YES | NO | MAYBE | Equivalent to “UNITS” button on device. Default KPF default should be Watts (remote command ‘U1'). |
Set averaging mode | YES | NO | MAYBE | Equivalent to “AVG” button on device. Default KPF default should be set to ‘Fast’ mode (no averaging by device). Remote command for ‘Fast’ mode is ‘F3’. |
Set audible beep on/off | YES | NO | MAYBE | Equivalent to “BEEP” button on device. Default KPF default should be ‘off’ (remote command ‘B0’) |
Set automatic range | YES | NO | MAYBE | Equivalent to “AUTO” range on device. Default KPF default should be auto-range (remote command ‘R0’). |
Turn display on/off | YES | NO | MAYBE | Default KPF default should be ‘off’ (remote command ‘K0’). Likely device produces less heat (and isn’t a light source) with the display off. |
Local lockout | YES | NO | MAYBE | I presume KPF default should be ‘locked’ while under remote operation (remote command ‘L1’) |
