OWNERS MANUAL | Cobolt Modulated DPSS Lasers | D0342-C JUNE 2016
Communication commands
The laser is delivered with the Controller set in Auto-start mode (see section 5.1 for Auto-start sequence description).
For system integration the Auto-start sequence can be disabled and the following commands can be used to control
the laser (NOTE some commands require Auto-start to be disabled but others will work when Auto-start is active). As
long as power is supplied to the Controller the temperature control elements are always operating to reach set-point
values and the laser will be idle waiting for the next command. All arguments are in lower case and separated by a
space (ASCII 32).
