the LED located on the top side of the module. The Module Fault Status is a logical OR of several
alarms which are laser bias current exceeds the maximum current limit, laser pump temperature
out of valid operating range, laser driver current limit reached, and laser driver junction

laser shutdown (ALS). To clear an ALS condition, the user must click the Reset Fault button which is
located on the bottom row of the Control Functions as shown in Figure 8.2-2. If the fault condition
