General Operations

All information about piezo and flip mount status is in ThorLabs Kinesis app. Search for it in Windows start menu.

Code is in VSCode. To open folder, go to "C:\Users\moss-ladmin\MOSS".

The file you want to run is called pulses.py.

Use command-line parameters as shown in observing log above, with format " python pulses.py -n num_pulses -d duty_cycle -f frequency".

Piezo Control

Odd Piezos on Kinesis are movement in azimuth; even are movement in elevation, as shown in image below on non-piezo stage.
