Control a Bausch & Lomb monochromator remotely.
The RB9603 Rulbus module enables remote control of a Bausch & Lomb monochromator by driving its nonius with a stepping motor.
The target wavelength can be set manually with Up and Down keys on the Rulbus module and programmatically via the Rulbus computer interface.
The module has a one-line display that shows the target wavelength along with indications if the monochromator is still moving up or down and if the wavelength was set manually or via program control.
Besides setting the wavelength, several properties may be requested from the controller via the computer interface: the target wavelength, the current wavelength, the minimum and maximum wavelengths and the current wavelength as seen by the potentiometer on the stepping motor--potentiometer assembly.
The module's front-panel looks as follows.
