Thermal3 Command
(requires ENG access)
bpd sine <frequency> (offset|offseta|offsetb|drivera|driverb) <amplitude>

Variables frequency The frequency of the sine wave from 0.1 to 1017.3 Hz.
amplitude The amplitude of the sine wave in either microns or volts.

Description The "bpd sine" commands injects a sine wave stimulus to the BPD system. The sine wave can be injected in one of five different locations:
  • offset - injects the sine wave to the input of the PSD based servo. This is only applicable to sensormodes 0 and 2.
  • offsetA - injects the sine wave to the input of the DBP servo on laser A. This is only applicable to sensormodes 0 and 1.
  • offsetB - injects the sine wave to the input of the DBP servo on laser B. This is only applicable to sensormodes 0 and 1.
  • driverA - injects the sine wave to the DAC for the piezo driver of laser A.
  • driverB - injects the sine wave to the DAC for the piezo driver of laser B.
The Frequency is specified in Hertz. The Amplitude is specified in microns for offset, offsetA, and offsetB, and in volts for driverA and driverB.

Notes Thermal 1.0 / 1.7x equivalents:
  • The monitor command bpd sine <frequency> (offset|offseta|offsetb|drivera|driverb) <amplitude> does not have an equivalent.

Thermal 2 equivalents:
  • The monitor command bpd sine <frequency> (offset|offseta|offsetb|drivera|driverb) <amplitude> does not have an equivalent.
