SLS60x for Windows

Overview of the SLS60x Windows application

The SLS60x software provides a Windows-based graphical interface for remotely operating SLS60x light sources. This complimentary program mirrors most of the controls available on the unit’s front panel, delivering a straightforward, mouse-driven way to manage the device without needing to access the hardware directly.

Main functions available in the interface

• Control the back-panel connectors: enable or disable ports from the app.
• Operate the shutter: open, close, or lock the shutter remotely.
• Power management: switch the light source on and off through the GUI.
• Brightness control: change output intensity with on-screen sliders or fields.

The layout is designed to be intuitive so users can quickly find and use the same capabilities they would on the physical panel.

Live two-way status updates

A key benefit of the software is its continuous synchronization with the instrument’s front panel. Changes made on the software are reflected on the hardware immediately, and manual adjustments at the unit update inside the GUI in real time. This two-way feedback reduces confusion and helps ensure the device state is always clear to the operator.

Free recommended alternative: TXTcollector

For users seeking another no-cost option, TXTcollector is suggested as a free alternative. It offers comparable remote-control features and a simple interface suitable for basic light-source management tasks.
