SECTION FIVE: HOST INTERFACE
In this section:
• Host command quick reference (this page)
• Message considerations (p. 5-2)
• Commands and queries (p. 5-5)
• SCPI error codes (p. 5-10)
When a command is sent to the Coherent StingRay laser, the
parameter for the command is stored in internal persistent
memory, which has a logic cell life of 10 thousand cycles. The cell
life sets the limits for repetitive commands sent to the Coherent
StingRay laser.
This only applies to commands and not queries.
