Status Information
The following amplifier status information is available.
• Optical input power
• Optical output power
• Laser temperature
• Laser operating current limit
• Laser operating current
• Thermoelectric cooler current
• Module temperature
• Laser in-service hours
• Laser on or off
• Optical power attenuation
• Master or slave operation
• Low input alarm enabled/disabled
Note: Not all parameters pertain to every optical amplifier. However some optical
amplifiers have multiple lasers and will have multiple laser temperatures, limits,
bias, etc. These multiples are designated in numerical order.
Example: LasBias1, LasBias 2, LasBias3; LasTemp1, LasTemp2, LasTemp3.
