In this row, there are value indicators for quick control and monitoring switches (green round
buttons). Only if the monitoring switch is enabled (i.e. it is lighting lime-green), the appropriate
actual value is transferred from the device and monitored in the field to the left and on the
monitor page. The rectangular indicators to the right light red, if something is wrong (from left to
right): laser diode current, laser diode voltage, out of temperature range (upper or lower limit).
