Turn Chameleon to Standby.
Switch off chiller and disconnect power line.
Disconnect the coolant lines, ensure that they are labelled so that they are re-connected to the same positions.
Dispose of the spent coolant from the chiller tank into the appropriate waste disposal bottle (stored next to the new coolant). IMPORTANT: it contains Ethylen Glycol, therefore it is harmful for the environment.
Re-fill chiller with coolant ~325 ml.
Re-connect the coolant lines to chiller.
Re-connect power line and switch on chiller. Check that the flow is ok.
Coolant last changed on: Check lab calendar. Changed every 3 months by Erika / Istvan.
Perform a “data run” to check the laser performance every time you do a coolant exchange. As parameteres use every 10nm, 10sec. If you get close to 2W internal power it is fine.
Turn ON the laser
GLATransitionGUI opens the
GUI for the laser
Wait until the laser is stable
The Tune window is the one for laser maintenance, from here you can run the “data run” (intuitive)
Run a “sweap” before (this way the data run did not result in an error when trying to stop it)
To start the “data run” choose the saving location (C:\coherent) and a file name (standard is : YYYY_MM_DD_datarun_User)
A pop up window will appear, just write the engineer name (you can write the other infos if handy or if anything has changed from the previous time) and continue
When the “data run” has gone through all wavelengths click “stop” (Roni says it used to stop by itself but it doesn't anymore)
