The LASer:ENABle:COND command sets the condition status enable register of the LASER
operations for summary (in bit 3 of the status byte) and generation of service requests.
Parameters
An <nrf value> whose sum represents the enabled bits:
Notes
The enabled or disabled LASER conditions can be read by using the LASer:ENABle:COND? query.
The LASER condition status can be monitored by the LASer:COND? query. If any of the enabled
LASER conditions are true, bit 3 of the status byte register will be set.
The enable registers normally retain their values at power−up (as they were at power−down) unless
the power−on status clear flag is set true (for more information see the *PSC definition, in the
IEEE488.2 specification).
Examples
"LAS:ENAB:COND 129" −action: enables the LASER status condition register so that the Open
circuit and LASER current limit conditions will be summarized in the status byte (bit 3).
Laser:Enable:Cond #H0F9B" − action: enables the LASER status condition register so that any and
all of the above conditions will be reported in the status byte register (bit 3).
The LASer:ENABle:COND? query returns the value of the status condition enable register of the LASER operations.
The response is the sum of the following:
1 − LASER Current Limit
256 − Output is Shorted
2 − LASER Voltage Limit
512 − Output Changed to be In/Out of Tolerance
4 − N/A
1024 − Output On/Off State
8 − Power Limit
2048 − Ready for Calibration Data State
16 − Interlock Disabled
4096 − N/A
32 − N/A
8192 − N/A
64 − N/A
16384 − N/A
128 − Open Circuit
32768 − N/A
Notes
The enabled LASER conditions can be set by using the LASer:ENABle:COND command.
The LASER condition status can be monitored by the LASer:COND? query.
Examples
"LAS:ENAB:COND?" −response: 17, means that the Laser Current Limit and Interlock disabled
LASER conditions will be reported (in summarized form) to the status byte (bit 3).
"Radix Hex; Laser:Enable:Cond?" −response: #H0F9B, means that all of the above conditions will
be reported (in summarized form) to the status byte (bit 3).
