Thermal2 Command
sys stroke cal state

Description Determine the status of the stroke calibration.

While the monitor command stroke cal will perform a stroke calibration in blocking mode ( the monitor command will wait for completion ), the monitor commands sys stroke cal and sys stroke cal state will perform a stroke calibration in non-blocking mode ( the monitor commands will return immediately ). This allows multiple functions to be performed simultaneously.

For example, the user can use the monitor command sys stroke cal to initiate the stroke calibration. If successful, the exposure head will perform the stroke calibration while the user can continue with other processing ( for example, initiating a focus learn ). The user can use this monitor command to determine the status of the stroke calibration. The status of the stroke calibration will be either in progress, successful or unsuccessful.

If the user attempts to access the write laser while the exposure head is performing the stroke calibration ( for example, to re-turn on the laser ), an error will indicate that a command is in progress. However, the user can use the monitor command sys plot abort to abort the stroke calibration.

Note that this monitor command only indicates the status of the stroke calibration. This monitor command should not be used to determine the state of the write laser.
