Tfx Command
ld [<diode>]

Variables diode Diode number (0 to 63)

Description Display information on an individual diode, or all diodes. Shows the diode current (mA), if the diode is on or off, and the diode pixel delay.

The command "ld" is used to show the status of all diodes. The display resembles the array, where diode 0 is the upper left diode, diode 1 is just below diode 0, diode 4 is just to the right of diode 0, and diode 63 is the lower right diode. The command "ld" displays the temporary pixel delay for all of the diodes.

The command "ld <diode>" shows the status of a single diode. This command displays the actual pixel delay currently being used for the given diode.

When the square brackets are empty "[ ]" the diode is off. When the square brackets contain "[*]" the diode is on. An exclamation mark to the right of the brackets "[ ]!" indicates that the current limit has been overridden for that diode. Dashes instead of square brackets "- -" indicate that the diode is masked. Note, on some heads a masked diode can be turned on under manual control.

Notes This command will not show you diode powers, since the firmware does not know the actual powers until it reads them. Use the command "ld all read" to turn on each diode and measure the power it is set to.
