B.60 Oriel (Newport) Cornerstone 260 Monochromator

Module name: oriel_cs_260

Description: Monochromator with two or three gratings, shutter, a motorized mirror to select one of two output ports and, optionally, a filter wheel with up to 6 filters. The number of gratings, the maximum wavelengths for the gratings, the minumum and maximum positions of the stepper motor for the gratings and if a filter wheel is installed (and how many usable filters are available) have to be setin the device's configuration file.

Controlled via: GPIB bus (IEEE 488).
In the GPIB configuration file use "ORIEL_CS_260" as the device name, 0x0a as the EOS character and set set-reos set-xeos and set-bin to no.

Note that the device comes with the GPIB address set to 4. This address can only be changed via software. To do this set the GPIB address in the GPIB configuration file initially to 4 (and comment out a device that already has this address as well as swxitching off). Then use the monochromator_set_gpib_address() function (from anywhere before the EXPERIMENT section) to set a different address. When this EDL script is run it will stop immediately during device initialization after the new GPIB address has been set. Now again edit the GPIB configuration file and change the monochromators GPIB address to the new one.

Status: Semi-tested
