The installation software is deployed on a flash drive. It‘s stored in the envelope that contains the manual and certificate.
Run the installation executable in the USB root directory as administrator.
This is necessary for installing the required drivers.
Some wavelength meters have an external power supply. Please connect the power supply before connecting the USB cable (included in shipment). Please avoid using USB cables longer than 3 meters – that might cause communication protocol difficulties with Windows.
Please note: Pay attention to the damage thresholds specified in the switch manual. A few µJ (µW @ 1 s exposure) or even less are usually enough to achieve a measurement. Take special care when working with pulsed lasers.
Suitable patchcords:
The MCLC input fibers with a core diameter of 9 µm can be used as an input for the MCLC over the whole wavelength range of the wavelength meter.
Use the 
FC/APC:FC/APC 
patchcord
between switch and laser.
Connect the MCLC to your PC via the included USB-cable.
Connect the MCLC to power using the provided power supply.
Please note: Make sure that laser sources are blocked.
Connect the input fibers to the respective laser source and the MCLC.
Connect the output fiber of the MCLC to the wavelength meter.
Simply run the desktop shortcut.
Start the software and unblock the laser.
Please note: Verify that the laser controller input has
an impedance of at least 10 kOhm.
Connect the laser control outputs to the laser controller(s).
See the “How to tutorial” “Control lasers with the HighFinesse Multichannel Laser Controller (MCLC)” on our website to
set up the PID control. (See below)
