echoed back, a delimiter, and then either the
power in watts, “Off” if the laser is off”, or “Low”
if the power is below the reliable measurement
threshold of the laser.
(Indicates that the output power is 96
watts)
Sent: “ROP”
Response: “ROP: Off”
(Indicates that emission is off)
Sent: “ROP”
Response: “ROP: Low”
(Indicates that the output power is
below the accurate measurement range
of the laser)
RFV
Read current software revision.
Sent: “RFV”
Response “RFV: 1.0.147 “
RCT
Read Laser Temperature – Reads the internal
temperature of the laser. The response will be
an echo of the command, a delimiter of “: “, and
the temperature in degrees centigrade.
Sent: “RCT”
Response: “RCT: 34.5”
RET
Read Elapsed Time – Reads the elapsed time
the laser has been on. The time is returned in
minutes.
Sent: “RET”
Response: “RET: 1105”
RSN
Read Serial Number – Reads the serial number
of the device.
Sent: “RSN”
Response “RSN: 6103081 “
STA
Read device status – The status is reported as
a bit-encoded 32-bit word. Undefined bits or bits
defined as “Reserved” can be in any state and
should be ignored. Each of the bits has the
following meaning:
Bit 0 - Reserved
Bit 1 - 0 = Normal operation
1 = Overheat
Bit 2 - 0 = Emission Off
1 = Emission On
Bit 3 - 0 = Back Reflection OK
1 = High Back Reflection
Bit 4 - 0 = External Mode Disabled
1 = External Mode Enabled
Bit 5 - Reserved
Bit 6 - 0 = Normal operation
1 = Module Disconnected
Bit 7 - 0 = Module OK
1 = Module Failed
Bit 8 - 0 = Aiming Beam OFF
1 = Aiming Beam ON
Bit 9 - Reserved
Bit 10 - Reserved
Bit 11 - 0 = Power Supply is On
1 = Power Supply is Off
Bit 12 - 0 = Modulation Disabled
1 = Modulation Enabled.
Bit 13 - Reserved
Bit 14 - Reserved
Bit 15 - 0 = Emission is not starting
1 = Emission Starting
Bits 16-17 - Reserved
Bit 18- 0 = Hardware Emission Control
Disabled
1 = Hardware Emission Control
Enabled
Sent: “STA”
Response: “STA: 4100”
This translates to the following:
4100 = 0x1004, so bits 2 and 12 are
set. This means that emission is on and
modulation is enabled.
