Automatic Optics Alignment With the internal or externalphotometer option and the
integrated scanning routines,
just a few commands are need-
ed to perform an automated
alignment of optical compo-
nents. For more information onphotometers / optical power meters, see the F-206.IRU andF-206.00U, p. 8-12and the F-361, p. 8-14. A smaller, even-more-precisehexapod, specially developed
for alignment of collimators,
fiber bundles and I/O chips, is
available as the F-206 (see p.
7-18and p. 8-8).

Open Architecture Control of the M-840 is facilitat-ed by the controller’s open
interface architecture, which
provides a variety of high-levelcommands and includes amacro language for program-
ming and storing command
sequences.
