03_10
Enters the external photodiode responsivity value.
An <nrf value>, in mA / W. The range is 0.000 to 20.000.
After this command is issued with a nonzero value and the instrument is configured to
display photodiode power, Display 1 will show the output power incident on an external
photodiode connected to the instrument's photocurrent input.
If the value entered equals zero, the display will indicate measured photocurrent in
Amps.
"LAS:CALPD 1.43" -action: The value of 1.43 mA / W is entered as the responsivity
value for an external photodiode connected to the instrument for power monitoring.
Returns the external photodiode responsivity value.
None.
If this value is zero, the photodiode power display will indicate measured photocurrent in
Amps, otherwise, it will display calculated optical power from measured photocurrent.
"LAS:CALPD?" -response: 1.43; meaning that the value of 1.43 mA / W was entered as
the responsivity value for an external photodiode connected to the instrument for power
monitoring.
