Thermal3 Command
(requires ENG access)
bpd on (dual|a|b)

Description The "On" beam-pointing control mode will enable the beam-pointing driver, initialize the piezo voltages, initialize the PID controllers and enable the beam-pointing control loop. The operation of the beam-pointing control loop is determined by the sensor mode ( configured by the NVS parameter as "Normal", "Differential" or "PSD" ) and the laser mode ( configured by the command argument as "Dual", "A" or "B" ).

  • The monitor command bpd on (dual|a|b) does not have an equivalent.

Thermal 2 equivalents:
  • The monitor command bpd on (dual|a|b) is comparable to bpd mode (on|update|hold|off).
