Programmable shutter

A computer controlled shutter can be ordered at the time of original order. The programmable shutter is positioned inside the monochromator at the entrance port, so selecting this option precludes the use of a folding mirror or flipping mirror on the entrance port of the monochromator. The programmable shutter requires the MD-1000 USB motor controller interface box for control with LabVIEW* software from National Instruments. A very simple software package is also provided by OBB to remotely control the shutter. Requires Windows 2000 or Windows XP operating system.

Second entrance or exit port

A second entrance to attach for example a second light source or a second exit can be added to the monochromator. It includes a flipping mirror for selecting desired exit or entrance as well as a slit assembly. If you desire both two exits and two entrances for the monochromator you need two of these accessories. Please note that if you select the optional computer controlled shutter, it is positioned inside the monochromator at the entrance port, so selecting this option precludes the use of a flipping mirror on the entrance port of the monochromator.
