MDT693B_Scan

Enables to control the MDT693B open loop piezo controller from thorlabs. Could be used also for MDT693A and MDT693 with functions update.

Routine and functions to control the Thorlabs MDT693B Open loop

voltage/piezo controller.

May be working also for MDT693A and MDT693 but functions reneming would be required (not tested there)

Note that the MaxVoltage variable should be set properly to the attacched hardware: do not provide a voltage level superior to that of the recipient piezo/insturment. The MaxVoltage variable should be set to be lower or equal to the

maximumaccepted voltage of the ancillary hardware This has been tested with the POLARIS-P20a based Thorlabs piezo mirrors: KC1-P/M, KC1T-P/M, KC1-P, KC1T-P

should also work with AE0505D08Fa based Thorlabs piezo mirrors: KC1-PZ/M, KC1-T-PZ/M, KC1-PZ, KC1-T-PZ

for all these you can swithc the MaxVoltage to 150;

The same approach should be working fine for MDT693A and MDT693, but renaming of the serial commoand should be enacted (not tested)

the sortware generates the 's' serial communication object to open dialog with the open loop piezo control. the the two functions [Out ]=Piezomove(s,TargVoltage,Axis) and [Out time]=PiezomoveT(s,TargVoltage,Axis) are used to control voltage in a scan routine driven by a nested for loop. Piezomove and PiezomoveT are identical, ecept the T version also provides timing
