- FBK - Optical feedback enable/disable
Enables or disables the real-time optical feedback. Normally enabled by default, the feedback can be disabled in
order to provide direct control over the constant-current sources driving each channel.
Syntax:
FBK
report feedback setting
FBK
[0|1]
disable [0] or enable [1] feedback
Examples:
fbk
query feedback setting
1
fbk0
disable optical feedback (channels will be operated fixed constant-current only)
Ok
4.6.18
- FBG - Query optical feedback gain
Reports the latest optical feedback gain coefficient that is being applied to the entire LED array as a whole,
which is nominally 1.0 in the ideal situation in which all LEDs are generating precisely their calibrated level of
luminous output. Note that this coefficient continues to be updated in real time, even if optical feedback has
been disabled via
FBK
; in this case, the feedback gain figure represents the gain that
would
be applied to the
LED array, were the RS-7 permitted to be making the adjustments.

Examples:

4.6.19
- SLM - Soft power limit
Reports or sets the maximum
permissible
channel operating power, as a percentage (up to 100%) of the RS-7’s
actual
capability. Attempts to command the RS-7 to drive channels beyond this limit will result in an error. Note
that channel power level adjustments being made via
CPA
coefficients and by the realtime optical feedback (see
FBK
) are not subject to this limit (they are permitted to use the headroom explicitly provided by this soft power
limit)
.
The default
SLM
is 90%.
