FLD Dashboard Panel

Module Graphic

The items in the FLD graphic have the following meaning and function:

	Indicates that an External Contacts board is installed.
	The status of the xenon lamp, off (left) or on (right)
	When balancing is in progress, the graphic is yellow (not ready).

The FLD actuals shows a table of the current signals in four columns:

Signal	The signal definition.
ExWL	The excitation wavelength (in nm).
EmWL	The emission wavelength (in nm).
LU	The signal value (in LU).

In addition, the PMT Gain below the signals table shows the current photomultiplier gain setting.

The context menu contains the following commands:

	Control	Displays the detector's Control dialog box.
	Method	Displays the detector's Method Setup dialog box.
	Error Method	Set Error Method Sets the error method to the method that is currently available in the hardware. The error methods are loaded automatically on all modules if an error occurs. Clear Error Method Removes the currently loaded error method.
	Identify Device	Causes the LED on the front of the module to blink for a few seconds.
	Balance	Balances the detector.
	Switch on	Ignites the xenon lamp.
	Switch off	Switches off the xenon lamp.
	Take 3D Scan	(G1321A/B and G7121B only) Acquires a 3D scan, which plots the measured intensity against the excitation and emission wavelengths.
