To mount the FWR filter wheel to an optical breadboard, a single optic post can be used as shown. Alternatively, using the AP134 post mounts, the device can be mounted to two posts either horizontally or vertically as shown.

Exchanging Filter Holders

1. 1.Connect peripheral(s) to the desired axes of your X-MCC, while unpowered.
2. 2.Daisy chain all integrated devices and controllers together using the RS-232 "Prev" and "Next" connectors .
3. 3.Next, supply power to one or more devices. Many products share power through the daisy-chain cables. The green power indicator on each should light up.
4. 4.Download and install Launcher. Start Launcher.
5. 5.Create a New Connection and select the communications port the first controller is connected to.
6. 6.If multiple devices are detected and there are conflicting device numbers, Launcher will renumber them or you can renumber them as desired. The first device in the chain (closest to the computer) will become Device 1, the next will become Device 2, and so on.
7. 7.When the communication port is open, Launcher's "My Connections" page will indicate the connection status of each axis with a message suggesting what action may be needed.
8. 8.Once a peripheral has been activated, either press the Home icon in Launcher's "Basic Movement" app or turn a knob on the X-MCC to move the peripheral associated with that axis. Most positioners will only move at reduced speed in one direction until they reach a home sensor at one limit of travel. Then they will move in both directions over full travel.

   Dicators

   Green (Device) - Power

   • On: Controller is operational.
   • Blinking twice per second: The power supply voltage or controller temperature is out of range.

   Red (Device) - System Error

   • On/blinking: An error has occurred. Please contact Technical Support.

   Yellow (Device) - Communication

   • On: Data is being transferred.
   • Blinking twice per second: Packet corruption has occurred for ASCII commands sent with a checksum.

   Yellow (Axis) - Axis Status

   • On: Peripheral positioner is moving.
   • Blinking: Axis is under manual control via the knob (in Velocity mode). The blinking rate is proportional to movement speed.
   • Fading in and out every 2 seconds: A connected autodetect peripheral is awaiting activation.

   Blue (Axis) - Axis Warning/Error

   • Solid: Peripheral is deactivated.
   • Blinking twice per second: Driver is disabled due to over-temperature, out-of-range voltage or other driver fault; due to user request; or due to E-Stop.This will also occur briefly when a peripheral is plugged back into the axis after being unplugged or on power-up as device initializes.
   • On briefly, during a move: The axis is slipping.
   • Blinking once every 2 seconds: The axis has stalled and stopped.
   • Burst of 2 flashes every 1 second: The stationary axis has been forced out of position.
   • Burst of 5 flashes every 2 seconds: The encoder has encountered a read error and raised the FQ or FA Warning Flag.
   • Fading in and out slowly: A peripheral axis is parked.
