:CALCulate:STARt[:STATe]?
Queries if STARt is to be calculated.
:CALCulate:STARt[:STATe] {ON | OFF}
Selects STARt as the quantity to be calculated. This is the
first good reading after power-on or last reset.
:CALCulate:TIME[:ELAPsed]?
Returns the time since last power on or reset.
DISPlay Subsystem
These commands change the state of the instrument's front
panel.
:DISPlay:DIALog?
Queries the current display screen on the front of the
instrument.
:DISPlay:DIALog {MAIN | WAVelength |
POWer}
Selects the current display screen on the front of the
instrument.
:DISPlay:RESolution?
Queries the display resolution.
:DISPlay:RESolution {0001 | .001 | .01 | .1 |
1.0 | 10.0}
Selects the display resolution. The .0001 resolution is not
available on the model WA-1150.
:DISPlay:UNITs:POWer?
Queries the power units used for display.
:DISPlay:UNITs:POWer {DBM | MICRowatts
| MILLiwatts}
Selects the power units used for display. MICR and MILL
are equivalent commands. The instrument will choose one
or the other depending on the actual input power level.
:DISPlay:UNITs:WAVelength?
Queries the wavelength units used for display.
:DISPlay:UNITs:WAVelength {NM | GHZ}
Selects the wavelength units used for display.
SENSe Subsystem
These commands are used to control factors that affect the
way in which the measurements are taken.
:SENSe:AVERage?
Queries the amount of averaging that is used in the
instrument.
:SENSe:AVERage {OFF | 2 | 4 | 8 | ... | 128}
Sets the amount of averaging that is used in the instrument.
:SENSe:MEDium?
Queries the type of medium in which the measurements are
being made.
:SENSe:MEDium {AIR | VACuum}
Selects the type of medium in which the measurements are
being made.
:SENSe:POWeroffset?
Queries the power offset for the measurements in dBm.
:SENSe:POWeroffset {OFF | 1 | ... | 20}
Selects the power offset for the measurements in dBm.
:SENSe:REFerence[:PARameters]?
Returns information on the reference laser such as power
(% of peak, and minutes to warm-up for WA-1650).
Sets the spectral range to be measured by the instrument.
