  • Adapter cord for the SPOX module

    This adapter cord is the essential link for the Shelyak SPOX remote calibration module. It provides the specific connection required to control the internal tungsten (flat field) and Neon/Argon (wavelength calibration) lamps on Shelyak's Alpy 600, LISA, and Lhires III spectrographs. This cable ensures a reliable connection for automated or manual calibration sequences managed by the SPOX controller.

    Enable Remote Calibration for Shelyak Spectrographs

    Designed as a direct complement or replacement part, this adapter cord facilitates the connection between your spectrograph's calibration unit and the SPOX control box. Without the correct cable, remote operation is impossible. This genuine Shelyak part guarantees proper fit and electronic compatibility, protecting your sensitive instruments from incorrect connections.

    • Guaranteed Compatibility: Specifically made for the SPOX ecosystem, ensuring seamless integration with Alpy 600, LISA, and Lhires III spectrographs.
    • Reliable Operation: Provides a secure physical and electrical connection for uninterrupted, remotely controlled calibration runs, whether manual or USB-driven.
    • Essential for Automation: A critical component for any automated observatory setup, allowing calibration lamps to be triggered via software without manual intervention.

  • What is the primary function of this Adapter cord for the SPOX module?

    This cord connects the Shelyak SPOX control box to a compatible Shelyak spectrograph. Its purpose is to transmit power and control signals to the spectrograph's internal calibration lamps (Tungsten for flats, Neon/Argon for wavelength calibration).

    Which Shelyak spectrographs are compatible with the SPOX module and this cord?

    This adapter cord is designed for use with the SPOX module and the following Shelyak spectrographs: Alpy 600, LISA, and Lhires III.

    Is this Adapter cord for the SPOX module required for operation?

    Yes, if you are using the SPOX module to remotely control your calibration lamps, this specific cord or the one originally included with your module is required to establish the connection between the controller and the spectrograph.

    Can I use a generic cable instead of this official Adapter cord for the SPOX module?

    It is strongly advised to only use the official Shelyak Instruments adapter cord. Using a generic or third-party cable may result in an improper connection, unstable operation, or potential damage to the sensitive electronics in the SPOX module or your spectrograph.

    I need to automate calibration on my Lhires III spectrograph. Is this the cord I need?

    Yes. For automating calibration on a Lhires III using the SPOX control box, this is the correct adapter cord to link the two devices. It allows your software to trigger the flat field and wavelength calibration lamps via the SPOX's USB connection.

    Does this cord power the SPOX module itself?

    No, this cord facilitates the connection from the SPOX module to the spectrograph's lamps. The SPOX module itself is typically powered separately via its own power input or USB connection, depending on the model and configuration.
