The TEC:GAIN command sets the TEC control loop gain.
Parameters
An <nrf value> between 1 − 300, the value will be stored to the nearest of: 1, 3, 10, 30, 100, or 300.
Notes
If the user enters a gain value which is greater than 300, a value of 300 will be stored. If the user
enters a gain value which is less than 1, a value of 1 will be stored.
If the user enters a value which is not legal, the LDC−3700B Series Laser Diode Controller will round
that value to the nearest legal value, if possible.
Examples
"TEC:GAIN 100" −action: the TEC control loop gain is set to 100.
"Tec:gain 3" −action: the TEC control loop gain is set to 3.
"TEC:Gain 200" −action: the TEC control loop gain is set to 100 (the LDC−3700B Series Laser
Diode Controller rounds 200 to the nearest valid number).
The TEC:GAIN? query returns the value of the control loop gain.
Notes
If a value other than 1, 3, 10, 30, 100, or 300 is entered via the GAIN command, the nearest valid
value will be stored.
Examples
"TEC:Gain?" −response: 30.0, means the control loop gain is set to 30.
"Tec:GAIN?" −response: 100.0, means the control loop gain is set to 100.
The TEC:ITE command sets the TEC control current set point. It is also used to enter the TEC
current calibration value.
Parameters
An <nrf value> which represents the ITE set point current, in Amps. In ITE current calibration mode,
the <nrf value> represents the measured current value in Amps.
Notes
This set point is used by the TEC’s constant ITE mode only.
In local operation, the ITE set point is entered by selecting (ADJUST) TEC and ITE modes, pressing
the (TEC DISPLAY) SET switch, adjusting the ADJUST knob (within 3 seconds), and then releasing
the SET switch when the desired value is shown on the TEC display.
Examples
"TEC:ITE 1" −action: sets the TEC output current set point to 1.000 Amps.
"TEC:MODE:ITE; Tec:Ite 3.5" −action: sets the TEC output current set point to 3.500 Amps and the
output is controlled to that value.
