Command Reference

The following pages contain a reference for both common and devide-dependent
commands of the LDX-36000 Series High Power Laser Diode Current Source.
This reference contains useful information for both local and remote operation of
the LDX-36000.

03_10
Clears status event registers: Event Status, Event Status Enable, and Error Queue.
Useful to clear registers before enabling service requests (SRQ).
*CLS
Causes the execution of commands to be delayed by a user-specified time. This
command is similar to the *WAI common command, except that execution resumes after
the specified number of milliseconds, instead of waiting for the Operation-Complete flag
to be set.
An <nrf value> which represents the delay time, in milliseconds with a range of 0 to
65535.
The Operation-Complete flag is held false until the delay period elapses, but the *OPC?
Query will not execute until the delay period has elapsed.
This command is useful for creating delays which do not require a lot of program code
and will not tie up the GPIB bus during execution. The delay time is approximate, with an
error of ±10%.
Care should be taken to set the GPIB time-out appropriately for use with the Delay
command. After this command (or the *WAI command) is sent, the 36000 Series current
source may receive up to 20 more commands before the delay period is over. If more
than 20 commands are sent before the delay or wait period is over, the additional
commands will be ignored and an error E-220 will be generated.
"DELAY 500" -action: Further commands and queries are not executed until
approximately 500 milliseconds have elapsed from the time this command is executed.
"LAS:LDI 7.7; DELAY 2000; LAS:LDV?" -actions: The laser output current is set to 7.7
Amps, then the current source waits approximately 2 seconds before returning the
measured laser voltage.
