solstislab

Description

This package can be used to communicate a SolsTiS M Squared CW
Ti-saphire laser using TCP/IP. The functions can be used to send a
general command, or use the built in functionality for getting and
setting the wavelngth.
The main nontrivial trick was to count '}' characters instead of
waiting for a terminator. The Solstis does not send a terminator
character over TCP/IP, so if Matlab expects one, then there is a long
lag until the timeout is reached.

The SolsTiS laser should be set up in a standard way using an
Angstrom wavemeter. Setup involves setting the TPC/IP addresses
correctly in the web interface. In the solstis interface, set the
remote interface to the control computer's ip address. Then disable
and enable the link. You can find a windows machine's ip address by
typing ipconfig into the command prompt.
