Notes

Example python code from VPH measurement system at SSL. Written for a Newport 1936-C intensity meter, which perhaps uses similar code to the KPF intensity meter (Newport 1830-R-GPIB)

Dispatcher Implementation

Keyword

Value

Type

CALMON_POW

Power measured by detector every time delay (see above)

Double - read only

CALMON_AVGPOW

Power measured by detector averaged over a number of steps specified in NAVG

Double - read only

CALMON_AVGTIME

Time stamp of last average measurement

Time in ascii format or unix timestamp in binary format - read only

CALMON_NAVG

Number of POW measurements to average to compute AVGPOW. Dispatcher requires > 1.

Integer - writable as as well readable, default set in configuration file

CALMON_AVG

Averaging is on or off.

Boolean

CALMON_CONN

Connection on or off to the device

Boolean

CALMON_IP

IP address of the Lantronix

String - read only but set in configuration file.

CALMON_PORT

Port id on the Lantronix for the serial connection

String - read only but set in configuration file.

CALMON_ID

ID string returned by device. Only valid when there is a connection.

String - read only.

CALMON_ATT

Attenuator on / off

Enum - 0 Off - 1 On

CALMON_BEEP

Device Beep on / off

Enum - 0 Off - 1 On

CALMON_DISPLAY

Front panel display on / off

Enum - 0 Off - 1 On

CALMON_FILTER

Averaging on the device

Enum - 1 Slow (16) - 2 Medium (4) - 3 Fast (1 or no averaging)

CALMON_LOCK

Front paneled locked remotely, on locks

Enum - 0 Off - 1 On

CALMON_RANGE

The device does automatic scaling of the output (0) or has eight preset ranges

Enum - 0 Auto - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8

CALMON_UNITS

The output units of the power measurement. Can be relative (REL) to a previous value.

Enum - 1 Watts - 2 dB - 3 dBm - 4 REL

CALMON_ZERO

Use a previous value as a zero point, can be turned on or off.

Enum - 0 Off - 1 On

CALMON_WAVE

Wavelength of light used for the detector calibration, specified in nanometers.

Integer - dispatcher enforces range between 0 and 2000

DISPSTA

Dispatcher status.

Enum and read only. If value is 4 or “Not Connected” the connection to the Vaisala or the Lantonix is not available. If value is 3 or “Connecting” the dispatcher is attempting to connect to the Vaisala through the Lantronix.

Configuration

Value

Explanation

ip

192.168.23.102

port

10002

Port that is used, 10002 means port 2

poll_time

0.5

Time between data requests for the measured power value.

navg
