Usage
General
This page contains system information parameters, such as the Software Version, Hardware Version, Model Name, Serial Number, and Module Temperature.
Modules
This page contains the Modules Table. This table displays all the modules of the device.
DMTx
This page contains 2 tables: DMTx Modules Table and DMTx Lasers Table.
For each module in the DMTx Modules Table, the Slot State indicates the status of the DVE, and the Remove Module button allows you to delete the DVE.
With the DMTx Auto Remove parameter, you can enable or disable the automatic removal of unequipped DVE modules.
Laser entries that are no longer available for the duration of the DMTx Lasers Expiration Time will be removed from the table. In case you want the table entries to stay present for a longer period of time, set this parameter to a different value than the default value of 0.
QRRX
This page contains 2 tables: QRRX Modules Table and QRRX Lasers Table.
For each module in QRRX Modules Table, the Slot State indicates the status of the DVE, and the Remove Module button allows you to delete the DVE.
With the QRRX Auto Remove parameter, you can enable or disable the automatic removal of unequipped DVE modules.
Laser entries that are no longer available for the duration of the QRRX Lasers Expiration Time will be removed from the table. In case you want the table entries to stay present for a longer period of time, set this parameter to a different value than the default value of 0.
