A-2 Programming Guide
Commands and Queries
Typical Command Usage
The control flow of an InSight X3 program might look like this:
1. Turn on the system, then wait approximately 120 seconds for the computers to
initialize.
2. Begin issuing a series of READ:PCTWarmedup? queries and wait for the laser to
return “100” to indicate the system is fully warmed up.
3. Set the output wavelength to 800 nm by issuing the WAVelength 800 command.
4. Check the operational readiness by issuing *STB? and then interpret the state bits of
the numerical response to determine if the state is ready (State 25).
5. Turn on the laser by issuing the ON command.
6. Issue *STB? every 1 second until the response state indicates RUN (State 50).
7. Open the shutter by issuing the SHUTTER 1 command.
