PARAMETERS An that represents the LASER limit
current, in mA.
POINTS OF
INTEREST
The current limit is in effect in all modes of
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
Remote Execution
I2
"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.
