Platforms:

All platforms (uses serial port)

Devices:

Oxxius DPSS and laser diode

Since version:

1.4.15

The Oxxius Laser Controller controls Oxxius diode lasers (LBX-LD) and Oxxius DPSS lasers (LBX-DPSS) via a serial interface. To use the USB port of LBX-LD, please contact Oxxius. It is possible to enumerate the USB port as a virtual serial port.

LBX-LD

LBX-LD serial port settings:

   
AnswerTimeout 500 ms
BaudRate 19200
DelayBetweenCharsMs 0
Handshaking Off
Parity None
StopBits 1

The following LBX-LD features and operating status may be controlled and/or monitored:

  • Analog Modulation Enable/Disable [AM]
  • Base-Plate Temperature [?BT]
  • Control mode APC/ACC [APC]
  • Laser diode current [?C]
  • Laser diode current set-point [SC]
  • Digital modulation Enable/Disable [TTL]
  • Fault number [?F]
  • Hours [?HH]
  • Interlock state [?INT]
  • Laser emission activation On/Off [L]
  • Laser status [?STA]
  • Maximum laser current [?MAXLC]
  • Maximum laser power [?MAXLP]
  • Laser output power [?P]
  • Laser power set-point [SP]
  • Serial number and wavelength [?INF]
  • Software version [?SV]

LBX-DPSS

LBX-DPSS serial port settings:

   
AnswerTimeout 500 ms
BaudRate 38400
DelayBetweenCharsMs 0
Handshaking Off
Parity None
StopBits 1

The following LBX-DPSS features and operating status may be controlled and/or monitored:

  • Base-Plate Temperature [BT?]
  • Controller temperaure [ET?]
  • Fault [AL?]
  • Hours [TM?]
  • Laser activation On/Off [DL]
  • Laser status [DL?]
  • Laser output power [IP?]
  • Laser power set-point (%) [IP]
  • Serial number [HID?]
  • Software version [VE?]
  • Wavelength [INF?]

The Oxxius GUI software may be helpful for initial configuration and testing of lasers in a Micro-Manager controlled system.
