Per instructions from Coherent, I made the some changes to the NPRO settings. The value we were operating at is in the column labelled "Operating value", while that in the Innolight test datasheet is in the rightmost column. I changed the Xtal temp and pump current to the values Innolight tested them at (but not the diode temps as they were close and they require a screwdriver to adjust), and turned the laser on again at ~1245pm local time. The acromag channels are recording the diagnostic information.
update 2:30pm - looking at the trend, I saw that D2 TGuard channel was reporting 0V. This wasn't the case before. Suspecting a loose contact, I tightened the DSub connectors at the controller and Acromag box ends. Now it too reports ~10V, which according to the manual signals normal operation. So if one sees an abrupt change in this channel in the long trend since 1245pm, that's me re-seating the connector. According to the manual, an error state would be signalled by a negative voltage at this pin, up to -12V. Also, the Innolight manual says pin 13 of the diagnostics connector is indicating the "Interlock" state, but doesn't say what the "expected" voltage should be. The newer manual Coherent sent me has pin13 listed as "Do not use".
