attocube assistance

our main concern at present is the controlling of the attocube motors, which will position our samples and aperture.

the labview software we were given was an alfaversion. anton is working on that. and the optical fibers, which give info about the movement of the attocube give a poor signal. tomorrow morning we will have a optical fiber-setup through a flange without feedthroughs, but with a hole-solution, which hopefully will make an end to the fiber signal problem.

we had hoped for support from attocube, but:
we talked to christoph boedefeld from attocube. he has an appointment in munich on friday, so he will not be able to come to hamburg then. we agreed that we should try to fix things on the phone, we got his mobile, so we can reach him on the weekend.
