PC-Gentec-EO User’s Manual Revision 5.0 19
Wavelength: Enter the desired wavelength. Press Enter or Tab to make the change effective.
Range: Use the dropdown menu to select the desired range. The chosen value will be the
maximum that the PC-Gentec-EO will measure before displaying “OUT”. By default, the
Gentec-EO device is in “Auto” mode.
Measure Mode: Use the dropdown menu to set the measurement mode (Power, Single Shot
Energy, Moving Average, etc.). Please note that it can take up to 3 seconds for the PC-
Gentec-EO to switch between measurement modes. “Anticipation ON/OFF” and “Attenuator
ON/OFF” can be controlled in this menu.
Corrections: Use these settings to set a multiplier and/or an offset to your measurement. The
equation used is : Result = (Value*Multiplier)+Offset
Trigger Level: Adjust the trigger level in 0.1% steps, from 0.1% to 99.9%.
Trigger level is not available in power mode.
External trigger option is not available in power mode and with Integra.
Default value is 2%.
4.3.1 Wavelength
The Wavelength menu is used to select the proper wavelength at which the detector is used. It applies a
correction to adjust for the variation in responsivity at different wavelengths. Pre-programmed
wavelength correction factors dedicated to each detector head are available and automatically loaded
from the detector EEPROM, for version 5 and higher detector heads. When a new detector is plugged in,
the calibration wavelength is the default selection.
The PC-Gentec-EO automatically recognizes the latest energy and power detector for accurate auto-
calibration. More importantly, it takes advantage of our Personal Wavelength Correction™: it reads the
memory in the Smart Interface connector to provide a wavelength correction based on spectral data
measured from that specific detector. Your measurements across the band have never been this precise
or easy.
The PC-Gentec-EO only allows you to choose values that fall within the detector’s range. If you enter an
invalid value, a menu pops up to signal the error and the PC-Gentec-EO automatically selects the default
value, which is the wavelength used for calibration at Gentec-EO during manufacturing or subsequent
service.
4.3.2 Range
The Range is used to select the signal level read by a detector head. When a new head is plugged in,
the auto mode is the default option. In this condition, the PC-Gentec-EO automatically selects the best
range for the value being measured. You can also choose a fixed scale according to the specific
connected detector head. The PC-Gentec-EO only shows range values that fall within the detector
head’s range. You can only choose from these available ranges
When in a manually selected range, you should always use the next higher range to the measured value,
for maximum precision.
