<Description>
<DescriptionText><text>
Specifies the desired internal write laser setpoint power. This is not
necessarily the same as what comes out of the head.
</text></DescriptionText>
<DescriptionText><text>
The difference between the desired power and the measured power provides an
error signal to the PID controller which determines the current for the
write laser diode.
</text></DescriptionText>
<DescriptionText><text>
The measured power is the measurement from the laser power sensor converted into
Watts using the wpwrcal parameter.
</text></DescriptionText>
<DescriptionText><text>
The relationship between the laser diode current and the optical output power
varies from diode to diode and over time.
</text></DescriptionText>
<DescriptionText><text>
Staccato is implemented using a wide and narrow mode for each media type. The
parameter wpower is for wide mode while the parameter wpowern is for narrow
mode.
</text></DescriptionText>
<DescriptionText><text>
The wpower and wpowern are used in laser ("head lsrmode") modes 0 and 3 while
wpowere is used for laser modes 1 and 2.
