The LASer:CAL:LDV command is used to enter the LASER voltage measurement calibration mode.
Parameters
None.
Notes
After this command is issued, the LDC−3700B Series Laser Diode Controller will allow calibration of
the laser voltage measurement.
The LASer:CAL:LDV? query may be used to determine if the LDC−3700B Series Laser Diode
Controller is ready for the user to enter a value.
Examples
"Las:CAL:Ldv" −action: the LDC−3700B Series Laser Diode Controller enters calibration mode for
LASER voltage.
"Las:Cal:LDV" −action: the LDC−3700B Series Laser Diode Controller enters calibration mode for
LASER voltage.
The LASer:CAL:LDV? query is used to determine that the LDC−3700B Series Laser Diode
Controller is ready for a value to be entered during the calibration cycle of the LASer:CAL:LDV
mode.
Notes
After this query is issued and a response of 1 is received, the LDC−3700B Series Laser Diode
Controller will be ready for the user to enter a voltage value via the LASer:LDV command (see
Chapter 6).
Examples
"LASer:CAL:LDV?" −response: 1, means the LDC−3700B Series Laser Diode Controller is ready for
the user to enter a voltage value via the LASer:LDV command.
"LASer:Cal:LdV?" −response: 0, means the LDC−3700B Series Laser Diode Controller is not yet
ready for the user to enter a LASER voltage value.
The LASer:CAL:MDI command is used to enter the LASER photodiode current calibration mode.
Parameters
None.
Notes
After this command is issued, the LDC−3700B Series Laser Diode Controller will automatically enter
the LASER photodiode current calibration mode for the current LASER range. When the LDC−
3700B Series Laser Diode Controller is ready, the user should enter the true measured value. This
procedure is outlined in Chapter 6.
If the LASER output is not ON, or if the P mode is not selected, error code E 516 will be generated.
In remote operation, the LASer:CAL:MDI? query may be used to determine if the LDC−3700B Series
Laser Diode Controller is ready for the user to enter a value via the LASer:MDI command.
Examples
"Las:CAL:MDI" −action: the LDC−3700B Series Laser Diode Controller enters the LASER
photodiode current calibration mode.
"LAS:Cal:MDI" −action: the LDC−3700B Series Laser Diode Controller enters the LASER
photodiode current calibration mode.
