The LASer:COND? query returns the value of the status condition register of the LASER operations.
SYNTAX DIAGRAM
-where the response is the sum of the following:
1 - LASER Current Limit
2 - LASER Voltage Limit
4 - N/A
8 - Power limit
16 - Interlock disabled
32 - N/A
64 – Compliance Voltage Limit
128 - Open circuit
POINTS OF
INTEREST 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 LASER output is on, and when the
hardware detects this condition, it will turn the LASER output off. 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 LASER condition status is constantly changing, while the event status is only cleared
when the event status is read or the *CLS command is issued.
EXAMPLES "LAS:COND?" -response: 513, means that the LASER limit current and out of tolerance LASER
conditions currently exist.
"Radix Hex; Laser:Cond?" -response: #H108, means that the LASER Output shorted (output is
off) and Power limit conditions currently exist.
