Index Pulse Output Function
#<CR> Read
Response Format: <N>
#<N><CR> Set
<N> is an integer specifying the function of the Index Pulse output. This command
reconfigures the Index Pulse Output to be a status output.
Value Index Pulse Output Function
0 (Default) Index (OPR) Pulse Output
1 Material Present Output
2 Valid Measurement Output
3 QF Pulse Output
4 QF Warning Output
5 Shutter Open
6 Laser On
7 System Ready
8 Thermostat Output (on @ 40C, off @ 35C)
9 Light Stack Green
10 Length Threshold A
Material Present Output
This output reflects the Material Present status. It is the same as the Material Present bit in
the status word of the serial output data.
Voltage High: Material is present
Voltage Low: Material is not present
Valid Measurement Output
This output indicates if the gauge is making valid measurements. The output is the same as
the Valid LED on the gauge.
Voltage High: Valid Measurements are being made
Voltage Low: No measurements are being made
QF Pulse Output
This output is a frequency output that indicates the current Quality Factor. A frequency of
100Hz indicates a QF of 0, and a frequency of 1kHz indicates a QF of 15. The frequency of
the output increases by 60Hz with each increase of 1 in the QF (100, 160, 220, 280, 340, …,
940, 1000)
