SYNTAX DIAGRAM

:	LAS	:	LIM
:	I2	<white		< nrf
		space>		value >
PARAMETERS	An <nrf value> that represents the LASER limit
	current, in mA.
POINTS OF	The current limit is in effect in all modes of
INTEREST	operation of the laser output.
	In local operation, the limit current is entered
	by selecting the LIM I parameter, pressing and
	holding in the (PARAMETER) SET switch,
	adjusting the ADJUST knob until the desired value
	is displayed, and then releasing the SET switch.
EXAMPLES	"Las:Lim:I2 100" - action: the LASER current limit
	is set to 100.0 mA.

"LAS:LIM:I4 3000" - action: the LASER current limit is set to 3000.0 mA.
