7.3.10 Setting the Monitor Diode Current (IMD)
Explanation
Response Example
Programs the monitor diode set current
Programs the monitor diode start current for “ELCH” *)
Programs the monitor diode stop current for “ELCH”
Programs the monitor diode current as measurement value in the
“ELCH” output string on position <NR1> (1....8)
Reads the monitor diode set current
[:IMD:SET <NR3><LF>]
Reads the actual monitor diode current
[:IMD:ACT <NR3><LF>]
Reads allowed minimum monitor diode set current
[:IMD:MIN <NR3><LF>]
Reads allowed maximum monitor diode set current
[:IMD:MAX <NR3><LF>]
Reads minimum monitor diode current for IPD - DAC = 0000
[:IMD:MIN_W <NR3><LF>]
Reads maximum monitor diode current for IPD - DAC = FFFF
[:IMD:MAX_W <NR3><LF>]
Reads minimum monitor diode current for IPD - ADC = 0000
[:IMD:MIN_R <NR3><LF>]
Reads maximum monitor diode current for IPD - ADC = FFFF
[:IMD:MAX_R <NR3><LF>]
Reads the monitor diode start current for “ELCH”
[:IMD:START <NR3><LF>]
Reads the monitor diode stop current for “ELCH”
[:IMD:STOP <NR3><LF>]
Reads the position of the monitor diode current as measurement
value in the “ELCH” output string (1....8, 0 if not selected)
[:IMD:MEAS <NR1><LF>]
*) ELCH = ELectrical CHaracterization, a PRO8000 Macro Function. Please see the PRO8000 Series Mainframe
Manual for details.
