wavelength_logging

method

TSL550.wavelength_logging() → List[float]

Read the list of all the wavelength points logged into the laser’s buffer.

Assumes that all the correct sweep and triggering protocol are met (see manual page 6-5). Generally, if the laser does a wavelength sweep, the trigger mode must be set to ‘Step’ for the wavelengths to be logged.

Returns:

pointslist

A Python list of length wavelength_logging_number(). Each item in the list has units of nanometers.

Raises:

RuntimeError

If reading the wavelength logging buffer fails.

Examples

>>> laser.wavelength_logging_number()
417
>>> wl = laser.wavelength_logging()
>>> len(wl)
417
>>> type(wl)
<class 'list'>
>>> wl[0]
