laser current

Hello Flowers,
Could I get a quick check from BD FACScan (or FACSort, FACScalibur, etc) users:
what are the laser current (amps) and laser power (mwatts) characteristics of
your 15 mW air-cooled argon ion lasers? You can find this info in the status
window while the instrument is running (not in standby). It would help if you
could also tell me how long you have had the laser.

I'm wanting a check on this because I am concerned that a new laser that we
have received is drawing more current than it should. I'll compile the
results and report back.

Thanks.
Alice
