About This Manual Upgrades Occasionally, you may find that you need Ocean Optics to make a change or an upgrade to your system. To facilitate these changes, you must first contact Customer Support and obtain a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Please contact an Ocean Optics Application Scientist for specific instructions when returning a product.
Chapter 1 Setup Overview The MPM-2000 Fiber Optic Multiplexer is a compact instrument that can optically couple one input channel to 16 different output channels. The MPM-2000 consists of a precisely controlled DC-motor with encoder and end switch on a rotator block. The optical path couples via UV collimating lenses. The Multiplexer features a CNC controller working in positioning mode, which eliminates step loss. The MPM-2000 is software controlled and interfaces to a PC through the RS-232 protocol.
1: Setup Unpacking the MPM-2000 ► Procedure 1. Unpack the Optical Multiplexer carefully. Dropping this instrument can cause permanent damage. 2. Inspect the outside of the instrument and make sure that there is no damage. Do not use the instrument if damage is present. Contact your dealer for repair or replacement information, if necessary. 3. Use this instrument in a clean laboratory environment. 4. Submit the Registration Card to for warranty and support purposes.

Chapter 2 MPM-2000 Specifications This section provides information on the operating environment and physical controls of the MPM-2000. Operating Environment The following table provides information on optimizing the operating environment of your MPM-2000. Operating Environment The MPM-2000 Unit . . . Moisture Is designed for operation in dry rooms only. Ventilation Should be situated so that its location or position does not interfere with proper ventilation.
2: MPM-2000 Specifications MPM-2000 Components The following sections describe the components located on the front and rear of the MPM-2000 unit. Front Panel SMA 905 Connectors Power LED Error LED Note The front panel of both the 1 x 16 and 2 x 8 versions of the MPM-2000 are identical. Only the rear panel will differ (two inputs on the 2 x 8 version).

Chapter 3 Operating Instructions Operating Software The MPM-2000 comes with easy-to-use Windows-based software that allows you to control the MPM2000 Optical Multiplexer manually or create sequence programs (scripts) with preconfigured channel settings and delay times.
3: Operating Instructions Channel Mode Channel Mode allows you to change the active channel on the MPM-2000. You can click on any of the blue buttons associated with the SMA 905 Connectors on the front of the MPM-2000 to activate that channel. Once you activate a channel, the button for that channel turns red until you activate another channel.
3: Operating Instructions Program Mode Program Mode allows you to create or change sequence programs used by the MPM-2000.
3: Operating Instructions Small Mode Small Mode provides all functionality of the software in a condensed menu bar. When using another software package, the Always on Top feature of Small Mode eliminates the need to consistently switch back and forth between applications. This mode is only accessible via the View Menu.
3: Operating Instructions Main Toolbar The Main Toolbar is only visible in Channel Mode and Program Mode.
3: Operating Instructions View Menu The View Menu allows you to toggle between the three different application modes. You can only access Small Mode using this option. Tools Menu The Tools Menu contains the following options: Menu Option Description Connect Connects to the MPM-2000 Disconnect Disconnects from the MPM-2000 Options Opens the Options dialog box Options Dialog Box The Options dialog box is accessible from the File Menu or Tools Menu.
3: Operating Instructions Settings Tab Click the Always On Top check box to position the software window above any other running applications, and then click the OK button to save your changes. To specify the default mode that the MPM-2000 software will enter upon startup, select one of the three radio button options under the Startup View section of the Settings tab, and then click the OK button. MPM-2000.drv The MPM-2000.DRV is an interface DLL for use with Visual Basic or C/C++.

A: RS232 ASCII Commands To check if the MPM-2000 has reached the given position you can poll the actual position (POS[CR]) and compare it with desired position. Note: A difference of +/-1 between the desired position and the real position can occur. This is not a functional error. Calibrating the MPM-2000 To calibrate the MPM-2000 Optical Multiplexer, you must write the complete program file to the EEPROM in the MPM-2000.
