Operating and Maintenance Instructions  –  23

WVL

Wavelength Control

Sets the wavelength of the TB9 filter; the default unit is in meters (M):

 

 M 

meters

 MM 

millimeters

 UM 

micrometers

 NM 

nanometers

SRE i

SQR Mask

Writes a decimal number to the SRQ mask register (see the Status Reporting and Service
Request Control
 section). Setting a bit to 1 generates an SRQ interrupt when the
corresponding bit in the status register changes from 0 to 1.

CSB

Clear Status Byte

Resets the status byte.

CLR

Clear Device

Clears the SRQ mask register and the status register.

Query Commands

XDR? i

Driver

Returns the state of an external relay driver (i):

 0 

relay 

driver 

off

 1 

relay 

driver 

on

WVL?

Wavelength

Returns the wavelength setting:

 

  WVL? returns the current wavelength setting

  WVL? MIN returns the minimum wavelength compensation range

  WVL? MAX returns the maximum wavelength compensation range

STB?

Status Register

Returns a three-digit integer and automatically clears the status register if the SRQ bit is set.
