Value

Type

POW

Power measured by detector every time delay (see above)

Double - read only

AVGPOW

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

Double - read only

AVGTIME

Time stamp of last average measurement

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

NAVG

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

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

AVGSTEP

Number of POW measurements used in current AVGPOW value. Goes to 0 when NAVG is reached.

Integer - read only.

AVG

Averaging is on or off. Turns off when AVGSTEP == NAVG.

Boolean

SERIALCONN

Connection on or off to the device

Boolean

NEWPORT_ID

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

String - read only.

NEWPORT_REV

Revision of the firmware.

String - read only.

ATT

Attenuator on / off

Enum - 0 Off - 1 On

BEEP

Device Beep on / off

Enum - 0 Off - 1 On

DISPLAY

Front panel display on / off

Enum - 0 Off - 1 On

FILTER

Averaging on the device

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

LOCK

Front paneled locked remotely, on locks

Enum - 0 Off - 1 On

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

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

ZERO

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

Enum - 0 Off - 1 On

WAVE

Wavelength of light used for the detector calibration, specified in nanometers. This is only actually useful if you know the wavelength of the source and it is reasonably monochromatic.

Integer - dispatcher enforces range between 400 and 1100

DISP#STA

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.

DISP#CONN

Dispatcher connection details, contains IP address and port separated by a colon
