The Laser Parameters are Laser current limit (LIM I) for output, laser light power
limit (LIM P), and monitor photodiode responsivity (CAL PD) for converting from
monitor current to light power.
Figure 2.13 Laser Parameters
The Laser Display is used to show Laser control (measured and set point) and
