Examples
03_10
Returns the value of the Laser Condition Status Register.
None.
Response is the sum of the enabled bits and must be a value between 0 and 65535 as
detailed below.
1 Laser Current Limit
2 Laser Voltage Limit
4 High Temperature Limit
8 Laser Open Circuit
16 Interlock 1 Error
32 Interlock 2 Error
64 Temp Sensor Open
128 Temp Sensor Shorted
The laser conditions which are reported to the status byte are set via the
LASer:ENABle:COND command.
The Open Circuit condition is only present while the output is on, and when the hardware
detects this condition, it will disable the output. Therefore, the Open Circuit condition is
fleeting and may be missed via the LAS:COND? query. Therefore, the user should test
for the Open Circuit Event via the LAS:EVEnt? query.
The condition status is constantly changing, while the event status is only cleared when
the event status is read or the *CLS command is issued.
"LAS:COND?" -response: 257, means that the output is on and in current limit.
"Radix Hex; Laser:Cond?" -response: #H90, means that the temperature sensor is
shorted and Interlock 1 is open.
