Set Control Mode (Local/Remote)
Syntax
:SYSTem:MCONtrol <INT|EXT>
Description
Puts controller into Remote mode (using the inter-
nal DACs) or Local Mode (using the external front-
panel controls).
Argument
INT
or
EXT
INT sets the laser to use the internal DACs and gives
you remote control via the computer interface. The
laser will use the current power setpoint when it
switches to remote control. The front-panel dis-
plays will change as sensed. Target values can differ
by up to 3% due to component variations.
EXT returns control to the external front-panel
controls. The laser power will return to the last level
set from the front panel.
Note: In Remote Mode, the front-panel knobs are
ignored but they are still active. If a knob is turned and
the controller is then switched back to external (front-
panel) control, the corresponding parameter will move
to the new setting.
Example
:SYST:MCON INT
⇒
OK
(The laser switches to remote mode and the front
panel’s remote light turns on
.)
