API access to Latch in PID Controller & Laser Lock Box

Support & Troubleshooting Software & APIs

I don’t see API access to the “latch” before and after the PID control filter in the PID controller (and the latches after the controllers in the Laser Lock Box). Does the ability to open and close these latch exist? If not, could it be added?

Hi @dgrass,

Thank you for your question, you can control these switches with the following functions:

PID Controller:

  • Switch before the controller is controlled through the enable_input() function
  • Switch after the controller is the signal parameter in enable_output() function

Laser Lock Box:

  • The switch after the controller is also the signal parameter in set_output() function

I can see the documentation is not as clear as it can be, we will add some more description to make sure this is explained more in detail.
