The LASer:OUTput? query returns the output on/off status.
None.
The response data is the status of the laser OUTPUT. If the output has been turned on but the two
second turn on sequence is in effect the response will be zero (off).
0 = OFF
1 = ON
This command has the same effect as viewing the (OUTPUT) ON indicator on the 8033 front panel.
"LAS:OUT?" response: 1, indicates the 8033 output is ON (two second turn on sequence is
also complete).
"LAS:OUTPUT?" response: 0, indicates the 8033 output is OFF (or the laser has been turned on
but is still within the two second turn on delay).
The <nrf value> represents the optical output power.

DBM decibels relative to 1 mW
DB decibels relative to the user defined reference
This command has the same effect as using the ADJUST KNOB on the 8033 front panel to adjust
the output power.
If the optional <suffix> is not used, MW is assumed.
The output power can be set with the output on or off.
Setting the power does not effect the present display mode. The following commands are
equivalent and do not change the display scale.
"LAS:POW .500", "LAS:POW .500 MW", "LAS:POW 500 UW",
"LAS:POW .0005 W", "LAS:POW −3 DBM"
"LAS:POW .250" action: Sets the optical power to .250 milliwatts.
"LAS:POWER −3.00 DBM"action: Sets the optical power to −3.00 dBm.
