Thermal3 Command
(requires ENG access)
bpd tune [(a|b|c)]

Description Tune the beam-pointing controller(s). With the write laser on, acquire samples from the differential sensor with a step change in the piezo voltage. The beam-pointing controller for laser A and the beam-pointing controller for laser B can be tuned by mathematical analysis of the step response of the position samples of the differential sensor. With the beam-pointing enabled and the write laser on, acquire samples from the PSD sensor with a step change in the differential setpoint. The beam-pointing controller for the centroid can be tuned by mathematical analysis of the step response of the position samples of the PSD sensor.

Note that this monitor command automatically calibrates the NVS parameters bpd kp, bpd ki, bpd b, bpd akp, bpd aki, bpd ab, bpd bkp, bpd bki and bpd bb.
