MPBC-VYFA-SF

Python interface for a MPB Communications VYFA-SF Series amplifier

Methods and attributes of the MPBAmplifier class

• enable_laser()
  start laser emission
• disable_laser()
  disable laser emission
• get_faults()
  get all faults of the amplifier
• get_alarms()
  get all alarms of the amplifier
• enter_test_environment()
  enter the test environment of the amplifier, required to change the SHG temperature setpoint
• save_all()
  save settings to non-volatile memory
• model
  amplifier model
• serial
  serial number
• enabled
  boolean for laser emision status
• state
• laser_state
  Current state of the laser; e.g. BOOSTER_ON, OFF etc. see enums.py for more.
• mode
• seed_current
  mA
• preamp_current
  mA
• booster_current
  mA
• booster_current_setpoint
  get and set the booster current setpoint
• shg_temperature
  C
• shg_temperature setpoint
  get and set the shg temperature setpoint in C
• seed_power
  mW
• output_power
  mW
• output_power_setpoint
  if power_stabilization is enabled (set to True) this gets and sets the output power setpoint in mW
• power_stabilization
  enable or disable (True or False) the output power stabilization. Only settable when emission is disabled.

Example

from mpbc_vyfa_sf import MPBAmplifier

amp = MPBAmplifier(com_port = "COM4")

# get the current laser state
amp.laser_state

# get the seed power
amp.seed_power

# enable the laser
amp.enable_laser()

# get the output power
amp.output_power

# disable the laser
amp.disable_laser()
