LASer:CAL:LDI	FRONT PANEL

The LASer:CAL:LDI command is used to enter the LASER current setpoint, measurement, and limit (in low bandwidth mode) calibration mode.

						I
Parameters	None
Notes	Since the limit circuit is the same for both high and low bandwidth modes, it is only
	calibrated when low bandwidth mode is selected.
	After this command is issued, the LDX-3232 High Compliance Current Source will allow
	calibration of the current setpoint, measurement, and limit (if low bandwidth mode is
	selected). This procedure is outlined in Chapter 6.
	The calibration defaults to the selected bandwidth setting. Therefore, it is necessary to
	select the desired bandwidth (I or IHBW) and turn the LASER output on before performing
	the calibration for that bandwidth.
	Calibration is performed at the current setpoint, wherever it is set. If the LASER output is
	not on, E516 is displayed.
	In remote operation, the LASer:CAL:LDI? query may be used to determine if the
	LDX-3232 High Compliance Current Source is ready for the user to enter a value.
Examples	"Las:CAL:LdI"	-action: the LDX-3232 enters calibration mode for LASER current.

"Las:Cal:LDI" -action: the LDX-3232 enters calibration mode for LASER current.
