LASer:MODE?	FRONT PANEL
	FRONT PANEL

The LASer:MODE? query returns the selected laser control mode.

	:	LAS	:	MODE	?
Notes	IHBW mode is the same as I mode (low bandwidth), except that the output low bandpass
	filter is disabled in IHBW mode.
Examples	"LAS:MODE?" -response: ILBW, means that constant I (current) mode is in effect for the
	laser output.

":Las:Mode?" -response: MDP, means that constant P (power) mode is in effect for the laser output, and CALMD>0.

"Las:Mode?" -response: MDI, means that constant P (power) mode is in effect for the laser output, and CALMD=0.

"Laser:MODE?" -response: IHBW, means that constant IHBW (current, high bandwidth) mode is in effect for the laser output.

The LASer:MODE:IHBW command selects laser high bandwidth constant current mode.

	:	LAS	:	MODE	:	IHBW
Parameters	None
Notes	This mode of operation is constant I mode with the output lowpass filter disabled.
Examples	"LAS:Mode:Ihbw"	-action: enables the laser high bandwidth constant current mode.
