Sense Temperature
Syntax
:SENSe:TEMPerature[:LEVel]:LASEr
Description
Returns the temperature of the laser cavity.
Note: The laser controller actively stabilizes the
temperature for optimal performance. If the system is
exposed to environments outside the operating
temperature of 15–35 ˚C and is unable to maintain
the cavity temperature, the temperature display will
flash. If this occurs, shut down the system until the
environmental temperature returns to this range.
Response
“x.x”
Units: ˚ C
Example
:SENS:TEMP:LASE
⇒
31.1
(The diode temperature is
31.1 °C.)
Sense Voltage from Detector Input
Syntax
:SENSe:VOLTage[:LEVel]:AUXiliary
Description
Returns the voltage detected at the
Detector
Input
on the back panel of the laser controller.
Note: This is the only way this value can be read; it
cannot be read on the front panel.
The resolution for the Detector Input is 10 bits,
so the step size is 5 V/2
10
= 4.88 mV. The
response will be rounded to the nearest mV.
Response
“x.xxx”
Range: 0 to 5.
Units: volts (V).
Example
:SENS:VOLT:AUX
⇒
1.200
(The Detector Input sees 1.2 volts.)
