Optomechanics can be directly mounted to the moving platform using sixteen 1/4"-20 (M6) tapped holes, which are spaced 1.0" (25.0 mm) apart. When I connect my tdc001 controller to a computer running windows 7 64bit, I go straight to a blue screen of death. From execution of the program until first movement of the stage it takes ~6s !!! After at most 5 meter you will have to use a powered USB hub and with that you can extend the lenght from about 5 meter for a single cable to about 25 meter using 5 hubs. However, when I use APT Firmware, only the USB item line (one line) appears, and I cannot get the firmware upgrade button activated. Is the amplitude correction file pre-installed in the spectrometer?? The dip is related to the filter that is used. A major upgrade to the former-generation T-Cubes, the growing K-Cube line of high-end controllers provides increased versatility not only through the new Kinesis software, but through an overhaul and updating of their physical design and firmware. Any help would be welcome, thank you. Although our current software is unable to perform perfectly synchronised events, due to its single threaded design, the use of LabVIEW should still permit near synchronised movement, <20s. Specifically, I am using LabView to control this motor. In that case, any input signals between 350 and 550nm would cause a 2nd peak between 700 and 1100nm making it hard to distguish wavelengths between 350-550nm. Response from Mike at Thorlabs: We will contact you directly to help troubleshoot your problem. Description: USB Comms Error

The paper was written by Q.Z., Z.Z., Y.L., H.L and R.P. Phys. While the active X motor controller is working via LabVIEW and via APT user, we encounter issues when trying to automize the process by using "MG17 Motor" (SetAbsMovePos and MoveAbsolute methods). When the "steps per rev" was set to 800 (the default value is 200), the real motion distance of the stage is 4 times that of setting value. To optimize the beam profile, the laser was coupled to a single-mode fibre using a FiberPort coupler (PAF-X-11-PC-B, Thorlabs). The provided software tools are our APT GUI, 32bit ActiveX components for use in client environments such as LabVIEW or Matlab and a low level communication protocol. Pinto, A. We present the miR-124-AMPAR pathway as a key neurobiological pathway that connects their shared I suppose this is a USB connection error. Can you provide a spectral efficiency curve for the grating? There are a couple of parameters to consider in order to ensure that the APT Configuration utility effectively detects the T-Cube controllers. I use the CCS200 with a white lamp quartz tungsten halogen lamp (QTH10) that I polarize before doing my spectrocopy measurment. Thank you for visiting nature.com. We are having hardware timeout issues with our TCH001 HUB with 3 TDC001 servo motors on it.

A complete list of methods with their respective descriptions is included with the APT software utility's help file. The graphical interface for the TDC001, TST001, and TPZ001 controllers also allows the user to enter sequences of movements that can be repetitively executed. ich war etwas berrascht bei meine TDC Controller, das die Aktualisierungsrate der Position ber USB so langsam ist, etwa 5-10 Hz. Neuro Oncol. Hello, I would like to have more information. We will send you the files and the supporting documentation that we currently have available. On these pages we will maintain as much we usually do not use versions of Labview that are too old for thge creation of the drivers as this can lead to compatibility issues over time. Science 267, 14731476 (1995). If so, what would be the maximum weight ? Hi Thorlabs, I'm using the KDC101 with Labview. The correct enumeration is as follows:
The OptoDriver single channel controller products can be operated via their front panel controls in the absence of a control PC. These mechanical errors result in deviations of the actual position from the commanded position. Dear Sir/Madame,
Photonics 7, 234239 (2013).
Bright light-emitting diodes based on organometal halide perovskite. The documentation and c++ files are available on the "Software and Support" tab at http://www.thorlabs.com/software_pages/ViewSoftwarePage.cfm?Code=APT. I have tried to fix this using all points from this page:
It is configured for automatic detection, and I have tried re-installing and re-booting as well as re-istalling the USB driver. Hong, X., Ishihara, T. & Nurmikko, A. V. Dielectric confinement effect on excitons in PbI4-based layered semiconductors. Although after hours of loading, APT config can still detect the device. or a conflict between the two? From optomechanical components to telecom test instrumentation, Thorlabs' extensive manufacturing capabilities allow us to ship high quality, well priced components and devices for next-day delivery. Could you please send me the c++ header file, dlls and libs (plus any documentation you might have) as well? However, we were unable to find this VI in the installed kit. We are intrigued by your suggestion and are seriously considering adding this feature to the software, but there is no firm date for this addition. Phys. Hi there, I have a CCS200 and I am having a bit of difficulty acquiring reliable readings through its triggering mode. Blancon, J.-C. et al. From time to time, the motor is not recognized by the PC neither by the APT user software nor by our own software. There is no clear delineation between the CCS products and the OSA products, so I'm not sure if I am downloading the right package. We will contact you via email to get the efficiency curve. This a response from Stefan at Thorlabs. A sub .vi within your main program will have to be created when using ActiveX events. Or have can we solve these problems?
After this the Unit NEVER SWITCHES ON even after disconnection it from the PC. Any suggestions ? Thank you for pointing this out. The whole triggering process is designed to be fast (low latency). Soc. Mater. We hope that you find this helpful when navigating out site. Please contact. Simon. ChemoMetec A/S. This is a response from Stefan at Thorlabs. Hi, Im struggling with the TDC001 for some time now. Features in the UV may still be visible with the use of a bandpass or shortpass filter to prevent saturation at longer wavelengths. This is a response from Moritz at Thorlabs. Modifying the PID settings would help, although we are not sure to which extent, since each actuator performs slightly different due to the mechanics. Hi, we just purchased the CCS100/M. To operate the KDC101 in Kinesis with PRM1-Z7, you will need to select the stage type within the KDC101 as "Unknown" as this legacy stage does not hold an ID Resistor. This can be eliminated by using the Amplitude Correction of our CCS spectrometer. I will contact you with this information to make sure the problem is resolved. I will contact you directly in order to discuss with you your application in details in order to see which approach can be used to obtain the desired behavior, In an earlier response, you mentioned the "sequential saving" feature in SPLICCO software, and that all functions from SPLICCO are available as LabView VIs. Many thanks, JS in the UK. Ruixiang
Are the KDC101 controllers compatible with the old Z612B and Z712B DC Servo Motor Actuators?
I think that light source may not emit sine curve shape light. I know that these "Feedback" sections probably weren't intended to be used for seeking help with utilizations of the products, but I appreciate that the employees at Thorlabs have been responsive regardless.

I will contact you directly to check with you what the exact reason for this shift is. Hi, I have just purchased the T-Cube DC Servo Motor Controller and the motorized Precision Rotation Mount. Appl. When they are in input mode (and therefore floating). performed the SEM measurements. Could you send me the documentation? Yes, APT and Kinesis software work, but I cannot find simple h files that I could somehow append dll files onto C console application. Same problem as the last customer "APT v3.3 doesn't work with Labview - Labview can not find ActiveX controller.". LabVIEW and your operating system can add some delay but USB only sends packets at a rate of ~60Hz, so the practical limit is 15ms. Thank you very much for your inquiry. (For the Z612B I realize that an adapter for the connector would be required, so I mean if it is compatible using the appropriate rewiring). and X.Z. Please note that stages and adapters with imperial or metric taps are only compatible with other stages and adapters featuring the same thread standards. We are working on the 3.1.0 version of APT Controller since the 3.4.0 didn't install properly (error window displays "1:" at the beginning of the installation). and X.Z.
