The LASer:COND? query returns the value of the status condition register of the LASER
operations.
-where the response is the sum of the following:
Notes The LASER conditions which are reported to the status byte are set via the
LASer:ENABle:COND command.
The Open circuit condition is only present while the LASER output is on, and when the
hardware detects this condition, it will turn the LASER output off. Therefore, the Open
Circuit condition is fleeting and may be missed via the LAS:COND? query. Therefore, the
user should test for the Open Circuit Event via the LAS:EVEnt? query.
The LASER condition status is constantly changing, while the event status is only
cleared when the event status is read or the *CLS command is issued.
Examples "LAS:COND?" -response: 513, means that the LASER limit current and out of tolerance
LASER conditions currently exist.
"Radix Hex; Laser:Cond?" -response: #H108, means that the LASER Output shorted
and Power limit conditions currently exist.
