If this menu is not shown, press the right arrow key (green) followed by the  
“library” key (2) and press the key under the box labeled SP300. This should bring  
up the menu shown above.  
This menu indicates there are two main selections for operation: SP300 selects the  
menu for normal SP300i/500i operation. UTIL selects lesser used utility functions  
for the monochromator. Pressing the function key below SP300 brings up the  
following menu. GOTO SCAN SPEED GRAT TURR DIVTR  
and pressing the NXT key displays the remaining functions of this menu SLITS  
and QUIT.  
GOTO:  
Press the function key below the GOTO command. The following screen is  
shown:  
Go to:  
Enter wavelength <  
Key in the desired wavelength in nm ( up to two digits after the decimal ) and press  
the ENTER key. The monochromator will move quickly to the selected  
wavelength and display this wavelength.  
SCAN:  
Press the function key below the SCAN command. The following screen is  
shown:  
Scan To:  
Enter wavelength <  
Key in the desired wavelength in nm and press the ENTER key. The  
monochromator will scan at the constant rate previously selected to the wavelength  
just selected.  
SPEED:  
Press the function key below the SPEED command. The following screen is  
shown:  
Scan Rate:  
Enter Speed <  
Key in the desired speed in nm/min ( maximum speed for a 1200 g/mm grating is  
1000 nm/min; see monochromator manual for other rate limits). Future scans will  
use this rate until the rate is revised.

The arrow by the number indicates which grating is now in place. To select  
another grating, press the function key below the 1, 2 or 3 grating label. Note that  
only the gratings for the selected turret are shown. To determine which gratings  
are available on the other turrets, press the function key below the T2 or T3 label  
for the second and third turrets. To use these gratings, the actual turret must be  
physically installed in the monochromator. Press the NXT key and the menu line  
changes to

This menu shows all of the grating on each of the turrets purchased with the  
monochromator. The arrow which grating is selected. In this case, the arrow  
points to the first line indicating the first turret is installed and selected. When  
installing another turret, select the desired turret number and press the function key  
below that number. Then physically install that turret. Use the function key below  
the QUIT label to exit the turret menu.  
From the main menu, press the NXT key and the following menu will be  
displayed:  
SLITS

SLITS:  
Pressing the function key below the SLITS label will allow control of the  
motorized slits. The following menu is displayed:  
Slits:  
Side Entr:  
Front Entr: no slit  
250 µm  
Front Exit: 1000 µm  
Side Exit:  
10 µm  
SID N  
FRT X  
SID X QUIT  
To adjust the width of a particular slit press the function key below the desired slit.  
SID N represents the side entrance slit, FRT N represents the front entrance slit (  
note in this case this label is missing since there is no motorized front entrance slit  
installed ), FRT X represents the front exit slit and SID X represents the side exit  
slit. When one of these menu selections is made the following screen is shown:  
Slit width:  
Enter microns <  
Enter the desired slit width in microns to a resolution of 1 micron ( for example  
250 microns). Press the ENTER key to set the slit to the desired value. After the  
slit is set, the display will show the revised slit width. Note that it takes longer to  
set a slit lower in value to the present slit width than to set to a higher value since  
backlash compensation is used when going from higher to lower slit settings.  
Press the function key below QUIT to return to the main menu.  
From the main menu, the other set of menus available are the UTILITY menus.  
They are accessed by pressing the function key below the UTIL label in the main  
menu. These menus are as follows:  
INST:  
Press the function key below the INST label to access the INSTALL menu for  
installing gratings into the monochromator. Note that this is only used when  
physically installing a grating onto one of the grating turrets in the  
monochromator. The gratings are normally installed when the monochromator is  
manufactured. The following menu is then displayed:  
GRAT GROV BLAZE HOL NM MCR  
To allow the monochromator to recognize a grating to be installed, use the  
following procedure:  
5
 
Select the GRAT function and enter the position number of the grating to be  
installed. Select the GROV function and enter the groove density in g/mm ( e.g.  
1200) Select the BLAZE function and enter the blaze wavelength for the grating  
to be installed. Select either HOL, NM or MCR for the units of the blaze  
wavelength ( HOL for holographic, NM for nanometers or MCR for microns).  
Press the NXT key and the following menu is then displayed:  
UN  
DONE  
EXIT  
Press the function key below DONE label to complete the installation of the  
grating.  
To uninstall a grating, select the GRAT function then use the NXT key to get to  
the UN function to complete the UNINSTALL process.  
CKSU:  
Press the function key below the CKSU label to read the checksum of the installed  
EPROM. This number vary from version to version of the software but will  
typically be a six digit hexadecimal number such as 5F162B. The number will be  
displayed for approximately 5 seconds and then the standard utility menu returns.  
INIT:  
Selecting this function resets the monochromator.  
GPIB:  
Press the function key below the GPIB label to display and/or change the GPIB  
address. The following menu is displayed:  
GPIB address:  
11  
Enter number <  
You can enter another number between 1 and 30 or press the ENTER key without  
entering a number to retain the previous address.  
RESTO:  
This function is used to restore the factory default and calibration settings. Unless  
you have reason to believe that these values have been corrupted, do not use this  
function. When selected, the following menu is presented:  
Restore factory settings  
Proceed?  
YES  
NO  
Select yes to restore the settings and no to exit the routine without change  
MODL:  
6
 
Displays the model number of the monochromator for approximately 5 seconds  
and then returns to the utility menu.  
Press NXT to get to the remaining functions of this menu.  
HOME:  
This function is used to initialize the monochromator wavelength and the  
motorized slits. When selected, the following menu is presented:  
Home slits and Mono:  
SID N FRT N FRT X SID X MONO QUIT  
The labels for the respective slits will not be shown if that particular motorized slit  
is not installed. When one of the slits is selected, that slit is initialized to 10  
microns. When MONO is selected, the wavelength of the monochromator is set to  
0 nm on grating number 1 unless different initial values have been installed.  
Press the key below QUIT to exit the HOME function and select QUIT again to  
exit the utility menu.

Software Reinstallation:  
The software for the Acton 300-749 Remote Scan is installed at the  
factory when the 300-749 is purchased. If, however, the software needs  
to be reinstalled for any reason, the enclosed disk contains all the files  
necessary for complete software installation. Included on the disk are the Acton  
files SP300LIB, INSTALL and WIPE. Also included is a copy of the file  
transfer program KERMIT (c) from Columbia University. The Kermit  
program is included at no cost and may be copied or distributed as long as  
the following copyright notice is included:  
Copyright (c) 1989, Trustees of Columbia University in the City of New York.  
Permission is granted to any individual or institution to use, copy, or redistribute  
Kermit software, so long as it is not sold for profit, provided this copyright is  
retained.  
Installation Instructions:  
Attach the 9 pin to 9 pin adapter to the serial port of the computer either com 1 or  
com 2. Attach the calculator cable with the flat 4 pin connector to the HP-48  
calculator and attach the 9 pin connector to the adapter at the com port.  
If a previous version of the SP-300 control program has been installed on the  
calculator, it is necessary to erase this program before loading the new version.  
This can be accomplished by clearing the memory in the HP-48 or by loading a  
special program to erase the SP-300 program. To clear memory in the HP-48  
calculator, simultaneously press the A and F function keys and the ON key.  
Release all three at once. Press the F function key alone to clear memory.
