5.2 Settings menu

Fig. 5-9 PC-LINK Settings menu

Items in the Settings menu define user-adjustable parameters.

5.2.1 Settings - Wavelength

Use The Wavelength menu to select the power wavelength at which the detector is to be used. It applies
a correction to adjust for the variation in responsivity at different wavelengths. When a new thermal
detector is plugged in, the calibration wavelength is the default selection. Optical detectors(photodiodes)
select the minimum available wavelength by default.

The checkmark beside the wavelength clearly shows the current selection. To change the wavelength,
select an appropriate wavelength from the Wavelength menu. PC-LINK only allows you to choose values
that fall within the detector’s range. If you select or enter a value that is not valid, a menu pops up to
signal the error and PC-LINK automatically selects the default value. That is the wavelength used for
calibration at Gentec-EO during manufacture or subsequent service.

For the version 5 (V5) and higher detector heads, the P-LINK automatically recognizes every 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 and easy.
