Indicates the estimated time until the next TLSSettling begins.
The PDLA relies on the tunable laser to provide high resolution
and dynamic range. The laser has a mechanically tuned cavity
that is sensitive to temperature change, requiring the laser to
track the internal temperature and occasionally perform an
adjustment. Under normal temperature conditions, this value
may show 120 minutes as the estimate. This value is updated
every minute.
Property Value
Double - The estimated time in minutes to the next TLS Settling.
