COMMAND REFERENCE

LDX-3232 Device-Dependent Command Reference

LASer:CAL:LDI?									FRONT PANEL
									FRONT PANEL
									REMOTE
		The LASer:CAL:LDI? query is used to determine that the LDX-3232 is ready for a value
		to be entered during the calibration cycle of the LASer:CAL:LDI mode.

									LDI
	:	LAS			:	CAL	:		I	?
	:	LAS			:	CAL	:			?

Notes		After this query is issued and a response of 1 is received, the LDX-3232 will be ready for
		the user to enter a current value via the LASer:LDI command (see Chapter 6).
Examples		"LASer:CAL:LDI?"			-response: 1, means the LDX-3232 is ready for the user to enter a

current value via the LASer:LDI command.

“LASer:Cal:LdI?” -response: 0, means the LDX-3232 is not yet ready for the user to enter a LASER current value

LASer:CAL:LDV						FRONT PANEL
						FRONT PANEL
						REMOTE
	The LASer:CAL:LDV command is used to enter the LASER voltage measurement
	calibration mode.
Syntax Diagram
	:	LAS	:	CAL	:	LDV
Parameters	None
Notes	After this command is issued, the LDX-3232 will allow calibration of the laser voltage
	measurement. This procedure is outlined in Chapter 6.

	The LASer:CAL:LDV? query may be used to determine if the LDX-3232 is ready for the
	user to enter a value.
Examples	"Las:CAL:Ldv" -action: the LDX-3232 enters calibration mode for LASER voltage.
	"Las:Cal:LDV" -action: the LDX-3232 enters calibration mode for LASER voltage.
