Burleigh Wavemeters¶

Driver module for Burleigh wavemeters. Supports:

WA-1000/1500

class instrumental.drivers.wavemeters.burleigh.WA_1000(inst)¶

A Burleigh WA-1000/1500 wavemeter

__init__(inst)¶

averaging_enabled()¶: Whether averaging mode is enabled

disable_averaging()¶: Disable averaging mode

enable_averaging(enable=True)¶: Enable averaging mode

get_deviation()¶

Get the current deviation

Returns:	deviation – The wavelength difference between the current input wavelength and the fixed setpoint.
Return type:	Quantity

get_num_averaged()¶: Get the number of samples used in averaging mode

get_pressure()¶

Get the barometric pressure inside the wavemeter

Returns:	pressure – The barometric pressure inside the wavemeter
Return type:	Quantity

get_setpoint()¶

Get the wavelength setpoint

Returns:	setpoint – the wavelength setpoint
Return type:	Quantity

get_temperature()¶

Get the temperature inside the wavemeter

Returns:	temperature – The temperature inside the wavemeter
Return type:	Quantity

get_wavelength()¶

Get the wavelength

Returns:	wavelength – The current input wavelength measurement
Return type:	Quantity

is_locked()¶: Whether the front panel is locked or not

lock(lock=True)¶

Lock the front panel of the wavemeter, preventing manual input

When locked, the wavemeter can only be controlled remotely by a computer. To unlock, use unlock() or hit the ‘Remote’ button on the wavemeter’s front panel.

set_num_averaged(num)¶

Set the number of samples used in averaging mode

When averaging mode is enabled, the wavemeter calculates a running average of the last num samples.

Parameters:	num (int) – Number of samples to average. Must be between 2 and 50.

set_setpoint(setpoint)¶

Set the wavelength setpoint

The setpoint is a fixed wavelength used to compute the deviation. It is used for display and to determine the analog output voltage.

Parameters:	setpoint (Quantity) – Wavelength of the setpoint, in units of [length]

unlock()¶: Unlock the front panel of the wavemeter, allowing manual input
