Graphical user interface

Wavelength in nm

key: "Wavelength"

The wavelength in nm that is applied if the Sweep mode is set to None.

Light output

key: "Output"

A drop-down menu to select available output ports if the monochromator has multiple ones.

Filter

key: "Filter"

A combo box to select a filter or add a string that defines the filter-wavelength changes.

Grating

key: "Grating"

A combo box to select a grating or add a string that defines the grating-wavelength changes.

Input slit in µm

key: "SlitInput"

The width of the input slit in µm.

Output slit in µm

key: "SlitOutput"

The width of the output slit in µm.

Current motor position

A field to enter a number that tells the driver at which position the monochromator currently is. Basically this feature is needed for older monochromators that do not remember their position after switching them off.

Device class programming

Go home

The button "Go home" should be used to bring a monochromator to its home position. It only works if the device class has a function "go_home". In this case, the following functions are called:

  1. connect
  2. go_home
  3. disconnect

The function "go_home" should provide all necessary commands to go back to the home position, including initialize and deinitialize if needed.
