WSOP MODE
========================= ============================
*WSP SOP#
Enable worst case input SOP alignment based
on equal power split between DGD axes.
Valid in discrete PMD mode only, for
PMD ID# in range 0 to 255.
*E00# if successful. See Table 2 for
other error code definitions.
*WSP DOP#
Enable worst case input SOP alignment based
on minimum output DOP.
Valid for any PMD setting.
PMD setting used is the most recently set
discrete or continuous PMD value.
*E00# if successful. See Table 2 for
other error code definitions.
*WSP DIS#
Stop (disable) automatic worst-case SOP
control
*E00# if successful. See Table 2 for
other error code definitions.
MONITOR MODE
=============================== ============================
*MON PMD?
Query current or most recent PMD setting.
Units: DGD: ps, 2
nd
order PMD: ps
2
Return: *
dgd,sopmd
#
Example: *63.06,314.3#
If not in PMD mode, will return the last
PMD value set.
*MON POW?
Query output power
Default Units: dBm
Example: *–6.7#
*MON:DOP INP?
Query input DOP value, in %.
Ex: *98.6#
*MON:DOP OUT?
Query output DOP value, in %.
Ex: *18.4#
*MON:SOP INP?
Query input SOP value.
Returns the values of S1, S2 and S3 from the
input polarimeter
*S1 -0.60,S2 0.60,S3 0.53#
*MON:SOP OUT?
Query output SOP value
Returns the values of S1, S2 and S3 from the
output polarimeter
*S1 -0.60,S2 0.60,S3 0.53#
MANUAL MODE
*CV1 x.x#
*CV2 x.x#
*CV3 x.x#
*CV4 x.x#
*CV5 x.x#
*CV6 x.x#
Set control voltages for single channels of the
polarization controller.
Using these commands will put the PMDPro
into manual mode, if it is not in that mode
already, and set the voltage of the indicated
channel to the specified value.
Range of x.x: 0-150.0 Volts
*E00# if successful
