Oscilloscope trigger,

oscilloscope. Set oscilloscope triggering for external, rising edge.

max

Diode current limit. The current limit can be set approximately with
the display selector set to

Curr max

. For more precise adjustment,

the laser current should be set above the desired maximum (using a
dummy load, e.g. ordinary diode) and then the current limit can be
adjusted while reading the actual current.

oscillations in the laser. Slower sweeps are recommended; usually
20 Hz works well but if ringing is observed at the start of the sweep,
reduce fsweep.
