sweep_status#

method

TSL550.sweep_status()[source]#

Gets the current condition of the sweeping function.

The status code corresponds to the following:

0: Stop (TSL550.SWEEP_OFF)

1: Executing (TSL550.SWEEP_RUNNING)

2: Pause (TSL550.SWEEP_PAUSED)

3: Awaiting Trigger (TSL550.SWEEP_TRIGGER_WAIT)

This means that the sweep has been set to start on 
an external trigger and that trigger has not yet 
been received.

4: Setting to sweep start wavelength (TSL550.SWEEP_JUMP)

This means that the laser is transitioning between 
the end of one sweep and the start of the next in 
one-way sweep mode.
