SS?
Queries the wavelength and time interval of the entire sequence list.
SS1=n12 n13 n14
SS2=n22 n23 n24
SS3=n32 n33 n34
:
:
If the sequence has not been initialized for the first time, or has been deleted, then SS? returns the following:
SS=0
NOTE:
When setting sequence items using the SS command which is greater than the existing sequence list length,
the controller automatically fills in the intermediate values with a default wavelength of 550 nm for VIS tunable filter
(or 850nm for NIR tunable filter) and time intervals of 50ms (or values defined by the TI command). For example, if
KURIOS-VB1(/M) a sequence has not been initialized but an
SS=3 650 100 8
is sent, then the sequence becomes:
SS1=550.000 50 2
SS2=550.000 50 2
SS3=650.000 100 8
Moreover, if
SS1
and
SS2
has been defined but deleted (using the
DS
command) previously, setting values for
SS3
restores the previously deleted wavelengths and time intervals for
SS1
and
SS2.
5.4.8. IS=n1 n2 n3 n4; IS=n1 n2 – Insert into Sequence
The
IS
command is used to insert sequence entries into the existing sequence list, where:
n1
is the sequence index
n2
is the set wavelength
n3
is the time interval (in ms, from 1 to 60000)
n4
is the bandwidth mode 1 (BLACK) and 2 (WIDE), 4(MEDIUM), 8(NARROW), (KURIOS-VB1(/M) only).
The index to be inserted must be within the list that is already set up. That is, it cannot be used to specify an index
which is out of the range of the current list, in contrast to the
SS
command. Again, the time interval
n3
is optional
and if it is not given, default value of 50ms or as defined by TI command is applied.
n4
is optional and if it is not
given, default value is
2
(WIDE).
NOTE:
When inserting sequence entries, the length of the sequence automatically increments by 1 and the entries
from current index to the end of list is shifted downward. For example, if the current list has 5 entries, inserting in to
the 3
rd
entry (n1=3) will update the wavelength and time interval values in index 3. The original values from index 3
to 5 will move to index 4 to 6.
If
n1
is out of the current list range, the controller returns
CMD_ARG_RANGE_ERR
.
5.4.9. DS=n – Delete Sequence Entry
The DS command is used to delete an entry in the existing sequence list. The value of n must be within the length
of the current list, otherwise the controller returns
CMD_ARG_RANGE_ERR
. After an entry is deleted, the remaining
entries after the current index is automatically shifted upward. If value n=0, the command delect all sequence.
