Anybody got an extra. I got some 473nm returned labs(?CNI maybe)
No wire came with. I really don't know the correct term for this wire.
Who sells these-?? Fans(on head & Driver/PS work on all but one.
I would think the first step for me to trouble shoot these would be to add 5vdc to the driver and see if any of these will lase. I think there must b four wires in the cord as there are four prongs.
Any will to help me with the steps after that would be greatly appreciated.
The connector in the third photo is a DB15 (also called VGA when used for video) male.
The circular 4 pin male panel mount connector looks like the "4 pin round" cables used for microphones. It was industry standard prior to the mid 90s for amateur radio and CB radio as well as industrial mics.
I find this interesting as I did not realize you could get true analog modulation on a 473nm dpss unit. I figured the Pio was to nonlinear to get the precise control of Po that analog modulation is used for. I always thought they used AOMs for this task.
I only showed the VGA cable for reference. What I need is the modulation plug & wire.
When I connect the VGA to the heads and plug in the power cord the fans (& green LEDS ) on all but one PS come on. But without putting 5vdc (AFAIK) to the PS/Driver of course, no lasing happens.
These were all 'returns'
If just one combo of the three set-up lases I will be very happy even if its underspec.
Thanks to all who are helping so quickly I posted something like this at another forum as got two replies one good one from Swami and one asshat that said something about me wasting his time--WTF? ...he said 'Our time' but last time I checked he only represents himself and not the forums. I deleted my posts and left a 'N/M.'
I see now why so many go to that forum and get rude treatment and never want to go back.
Haters gonna hate.
About the VGA--I will assume that I can find out some info by metering the pins but I do not know where to start.I am thinking once I know which PS is working correctly I can begin to see if the heads work. BUT IIRC no analog labs work unless some power it put to the modulation. I tried to use probes attached to a 5vdc source but there is not much room inside there to test. Having the plug with four wires would make testing MUCH easier.
THANKS to all who have posted in this thread. I bet MM will be the guy to give me the help I need and I am also betting he has one of those plugs. I will be seeing him at SELEM - We (along with Jeff00& one other) will again be sharing the same suite as before. That gets the cost down to $28.75 each per nite.
