Product-Specific Commands—Description
:INPut[1..n]:REFerence
Description This command sets, for the current wavelength,
a reference value for the attenuation. When the
instrument is used in Reference mode, the
attenuation configured with the
INPut[1..n]:RATTenuation command is relative to
this reference value. This command will have no
effect when the instrument is used in Absolute or
X + B mode. This value it used only when the
ATTenuation control mode is active.
At *RST, the reference value that will be set
depends on the instrument you have.
Syntax :INPut[1..n]:REFerence<wsp><Reference
