Programming Commands
CALCulate2 Subsystem
WLIMit:STARt[:WAVelength]
Syntax CALCulate2:WLIMit:STARt[:WAVelength] {?|{<real> | MINimum | MAXimum}}
< real > is a wavenumber value that is within the following limits:
Constant Description
MINimum 1270 nm
MAXimum wavelength limit stop value
Attribute
Summary Non- sequential command
Preset State: 1270 nm
*RST State: 1270 nm
SCPI Comp liance: instrument sp ecific
Description This command sets the starting range for the wavelength limit. The start
wavelength value must be less than or equal to the stop wavelength
value or the start wavelength will be clip ped to the stop wavelength and
a “Data out of range” error will be generated. Setting the start
wavelength is equivalent to setting the stop frequency/wavenumber
because of the inverse relationship of frequency to wavelength. The
default units for the <
real > p arameter are meters.
Non-sequential command
Always use an *OPC? query or a *WAI command to ensure that this command has
the time to complete before sending any more commands to the instrument.
