Response
Description
format
"system state" Queries the system "state". The response to this command
is the "state string" that tells you the basic state of the laser,
including:
• "standby": This is the state string when the laser is not
firing and not simmering.
• "simmer": This the state string when the laser is only
simmering.
• "fire auto": This is the state string when the flashlamp is
firing in Internal sync mode.
• "fire ext": This is the state string when the flashlamp is
firing in External sync mode.
• If the flashlamp is firing, and the Q-Switch is enabled,
the word "qs" is added, and if the Q-Switch sync mode
is External, the letter "e" will be added. For example,
if the flashlamp is firing in External sync mode and the
Q-Switch is running in External sync mode, the state
string will be "fire ext qs e".
• "fire auto qs": This means the flashlamp is firing in
Internal sync and the Q-Switch is operating in Internal
sync.
• "fire ext qs": This means the flashlamp is firing in
External sync and the Q-Switch is operating in Internal
sync.
Note: HyperTerminal can be configured to send CR-LF when
the keyboard's "enter" key is pressed. Sending just CR-LF
will also cause the ICE450 to respond with the state string.
