LASer:TOLerance?	FRONT PANEL
	REMOTE

The LASer:TOLerance? query allows the programmer to determine how the LASER current tolerance is set.

	:	LAS	:	TOL	?
	- where the response consists of two values, the first is the current tolerance in mA and
	the second is the time window, in seconds.
Notes	The tolerance of the LDX-3232 LASER current may be used to delay programming after
	an "LASer:OUTput 1" command is issued or the setpoint is changed.
	A change of the output into or out of tolerance flag sets a flag in the LASER status event
	register and so entering or exiting LASER current tolerance may be used to generate
	service requests.
Examples	"Las:Tol?" -response: "0.2,5.0", means the LDX-3232 has a LASER current tolerance
	setting of 0.2 mA with a time window of 5.000 seconds.

"LASER:TOL?" -response: "1.0,20.0", means the LDX-3232 has a LASER current tolerance setting of 1.0 mA with a time window of 20.000 seconds.

MESsage

FRONT PANEL

REMOTE

The MESsage command allows the user to enter an ASCII string of up to 16 non-NULL characters. This command may be useful for storing messages that relate to a test or configuration.

:MES

<white

space>

<ascii

string>

Parameters	An ASCII string that is 1 - 16 bytes in length.
Notes	The message may contain any ASCII character, but will be terminated when a NULL
	terminator character is received. If the message has less than 16 bytes, the software will
	fill the remaining message space with the space character. After 16 bytes have been
	entered, the software will null-terminate the string.
Examples	MESSAGE "This is a test." -action: The string, "This is a test. " will be stored in
	non-volatile memory.
	Mes "Test 3" -action: The string, "Test 3	" will be stored in non-volatile memory.
