LDS1000 Controller for Laser Diode Sensors

LDS1000

Controller for Laser Diode Sensors

1.0 Introduction

This manual describes the operations and conditions necessary for the

proper use and working of the NEWPORT LDS1000 Controller.

It also provides the basic maintenance operations that are useful to keep

the instrument in good working order.

IMPORTANT

NEWPORT LDS series sensors are measuring instruments that provides

results of measurements. The calibration certificate drawn up by NEW-

PORT for each delivery, or when an instrument is newly calibrated must

ALWAYS be supplied with the sensor. It provides the values of the para-

meters that must be stored in the memory of the LDS1000 electronic

controller so that the instrument gives accurate measurements. BEFORE

any measuring operation, the operator must make sure that the parame-

ters that are used by the electronic controller are the ones that the ins-

trument is designed to use. Refer to the corresponding chapter to check

and modify the sensor parameters.

RECOMMANDATIONS

You are strongly advised to read the chapter entitled “First use” careful-

ly before connecting your autocollimator.

2.0 Description

The LDS1000 Controller is designed to drive sensors of the NEWPORT LDS

series (for example, LDS-Vector autocollimator or STR500-H rectitude sen-

sor). The latter are compact and self-contained measuring instruments.

The LDS1000 electronic controller provides the means of displaying angu-

lar variations by measuring the movement of a spot of light on a position

sensing device. It has the capacity, off-line, to store up to 2048 measu-

rements (14336 measurements with the extended memory option) and to

calculate the averages of these measurements.

When linked to a personal computer it provides the possibility of proces-

sing and recording the measurements.

This manual is designed to facilitate the use of the LDS1000 Controller for

all its modes of operation.

A second user’s manual exists which describes and facilitates the use of

the sensor.

2.2.2 Remote Mode

When linked to a computer by RS-232-C or IEEE-488 connection, the

LDS1000 Controller communicates by ASCII messages. The buttons on the

front panel of the controller are no longer valid.

The following functions are possible:

•Reading the controller’s programmed parameters.

•Modification of the integration constant.

•Transmission of instantaneous values measured.

•Acquisition in the controller’s internal memory, of a number N of points,

at the frequency F.

•Acquisition in the controller’s internal memory, of a number N of points,

at the frequency F, the beginning of the acquisition is started by an

external signal (Trigger).

•Acquisition in the controller’s internal memory of a number N of points,

each acquisition being started by an external signal (Trigger).

Refer to the chapter entitled: “Use with a computer interface”.

2.2.3 Analog Mode

Analog outputs are only available on models that are equipped with this

option. This must be specified at the time of ordering.

There are two voltages at the analog outputs that are respectively propor-

tional to the angular measurements Y and Z of the equipment.

This enables:

•Connection to an analog acquisition chain.

•Visualization of positions on an oscilloscope.

•Use of the LDS-Vector autocollimator for analog controls.

These outputs are obtained by a digital/analog conversion of the values

calculated by the controller.

This conversion is carried out in real time at a frequency of 2000 Hz.

Refer to the chapter entitled: “Off-line use”.

LDS1000 Controller for Laser Diode Sensors

3.0 Principle of Operation

3.1 Laser Diode Sensors

Laser diode sensors of the NEWPORT LDS series use identical technologies

for the emission and reception of optical signals, but according to a diffe-

rent optical diagram.

The emission is performed by a Laser diode controlled and modulated at

10 kHz.

The reception is performed by a position sensing device that provides ana-

log voltages.

From the electronic controller’s point of view, that becomes:

•Supply the necessary power to the laser diode and to the pre-amplifying

electronic controller.

•Monitor break down and defects.

•Collect the return signals from the analog sensor.

This data is processed by the controller, corrected according to the para-

meters provided by calibration and usable depending on the different

modes (display, memorization, transmission to the computer interface,

analog output [available as an option]).

3.2 Electronic Controller

The LDS1000 Controller performs:

•Fast acquisition at a set frequency of 2 kHz.

•Analog to digital conversion.

•Correction and integration calculation.

•Memory and display management.

Its technology is based on a 68000, 16 MHz microprocessor.

This controller offers a clear display of the values measured on a luminous

screen and communication via RS-232-C and IEEE-488 interfaces.

One particular model is available with calibrated analog outputs, that are

proportional to the values measured.

WARNING: SPECTRAL WITHDRAWAL

The analog outputs use an intermediary calculation stage that is based

on a sample at 2000 Hz. This will limit the use of the LDS sensor for stu-

dying signals that do not have a significant spectral component over

1000 Hz (this sort of component would find themselves “withdrawn” and

would appear for lower frequencies).

4.2 Validity of Specifications

Refer also to the paragraph entitled “Specification Validity” in each user’s

manual for the performances of the sensors according to the conditions of

use.

LDS1000 Controller for Laser Diode Sensors

4.2.1 Calibration

A reading of the linear errors according to the angle measured is provided

with each sensor. This calibration certificate gives, in particular, the value

of the principal parameters to be used to configure the LDS1000 electronic

controller:

•S/N: Series number of the optical head.

•Type: RT (Rotation) for LDS-Vector or TR (Translation) for STR500-H.

X: Beam Axis; Y: Horizontal Axis; Z: Vertical Axis.

–Type RT (Rotation):

Y: Rotation around Y axis.

Z: Rotation around Z axis.

–Type TR (Translation):

Y: Parallel translation with Y axis.

Z: Parallel translation with Z axis.

•Ycoef:Linear correction factor for axis Y.

•Yincr:Count increments for axis Y.

•Yunit:Unit displayed for axis Y.

•Yofs1, Yofs2:Channel Y electronic offsets.

•Zcoef:Linear correction factor for axis Z.

•Zincr:Count increments for axis Z.

•Zunit:Unit displayed for axis Z.

•Zofs1, Zofs2:Channel Z electronic offsets.

These parameters were optimized when the instrument was calibrated in

order to obtain the best results. You are advised not to modify them

without reason.

These parameters have been defined for the following conditions of use:

•Temperature 22 °C ±2 °C

•Mirror diameter >31 mm

•Reflectivity 80% at 670 nm

•Working distance 0.1 m

4.3 Noise Reduction

The LDS1000 Controller constantly carries out acquisitions at a rate of 2000

values per second.

These acquisitions are dealt with on request (transformation of electric

signals into metrological values) for display or emission on a connection.

Depending on the programming of the electronic controller, the returned

value corresponds either to the last acquisition carried out (no average) or

to the average of the last N acquisitions.

LDS1000 Controller for Laser Diode Sensors

In the second case, a low-pass digital selection is carried out which reduces

the noise.

The noise reduction evolves like the square root of the number N of avera-

ged samples, which is itself equal to the averaging time to acquisition per-

iod ratio.

The acquisition period is always equal to 0.5 msec (2 kHz).

The duration of the averaging is fixed by the integration constant that can

be parametered INTG.

Refer to the user’s manual of the LDS sensor concerned.

4.4 Offset Coefficient Adjustment

The Yofs1, Yofs2, Zofs1 and Zofs2 coefficients are normaly set to zero

value.

When the reflected light is becoming low, because of poor reflectivity or

small mirror aperture, it is necessary to take into account the value of the

electronic offsets of the detector.

The LDS1000 Controller is designed to make this correction very easily, by

introducing offset coefficients into its memory.

The following procedure must be accomplished:

❶The values of offsets are reached when the instrument does not receive

any light.

In order to get these values, place a black screen in front of the exit

pupil of the instrument.

The requested values are then dispayed by the LDS1000 in the specific

test mode, described in chapter 7.3.

=> (F5) => (F4) => (F2)

The first line gives Yofs1 and Yofs2.

The second line gives Zofs1 and Zofs2.

❷Take notes of these values and go to LDS1000 parameter setting, as

explained in chapter 7.4.
