Indicates the estimated time until the next laser settling begins.
The ODA 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 a correction. Under normal temperature
conditions, the status message may show 120 minutes as the estimate.
This status message is updated every minute.
Parameters
dTimeRemaining - Indicates the time remaining until the next TLS Settling.
Time is in minutes.
eProbability - The probability of a TLS Settling being performed.
Related Command
TLS.ForceSettling method
Indicates a laser settling has started or completed. Once a laser settling
has begun, the ODA will not be able to make measurements until it is
complete. To avoid settling in the middle of your test, track the estimated
time until laser settling. When it falls below 10 minutes, you should force a
TLS settling with the TLS.ForceSettling method.
Parameters
progress - Indicates TLS Settling has begun or completed.
