POINTS
OF
INTEREST
The LASER conditions which
are
reported to the
status
byte
are
set
via
the
LASer:ENABle:COND command.
The Open circuit condition
is
only present while the LASER output
is
on,
and
when the
hardware
detects
this
condition, it
will
turn
the LASER output off. Therefore, the Open
Circuit condition is
fleeting
and
may
be
mid
via
the LAS:COND?
query.
Therefore, the
user should test for the Open Circuit Event
via
the LASEVEnt? query.
The LASER condition
status
is
constantly
changing,
while the event
status
is only cleared
when the event
status
is
read
or the
*CLS
command
is
issued.
EXAMPLES
"LAS:COND?" -response:
513,
means that the LASER limit current and out of tolerance
LASER conditions currently exist.
"Radix Hex; Laser:Cond?"
-response:
#H108,
means that the LASER Output shorted
and
Power limit conditions currently exist.
