finesse_virgo.virgo.Virgo.sensing_W_to_m

Virgo.sensing_W_to_m(watts, dof, readout_port=None, sensing_matrix=None, inverse=False)

Uses the sensing matrix to convert the dof readout power from Watts to meters and vice versa.

Parameters:

valuefloat

Value to convert from W to m (or m to W)

dofstr

The DOF to use for the conversion.

readout_portstr, optional

Name of readout port to use for the conversion. Defaults to the one assigned to the DOF according to the control scheme.

sensing_matrixSensingMatrix, optional

Sensing matrix to use, if provided. If not provided, then a new sensing matrix will be computed.
