command:
:CONFigure[

][:CHANnel[
m
]]:OFFSet:WAVelength:STATe
syntax:
:CONFigure[
n
]][:CHANnel[
m
]]:OFFSet:WAVelength:STATe<wsp>OFF(0) | ON(1)
description:
Specifies whether the attenuator uses its
λ
offset table to compensate for wavelength dependent losses in the the test
set-up. This table contains, for each wavelength specified, the additional power offset to be applied.
This command does not affect the module’s internal enviromental temperature and optical wavelength compensation, which
remain active.
parameters:
OFF or 0
ON or 1
The offset table is not used to compensate for wavelength dependent losses.
The attenuator adds the appropriate value from its
λ
offset table to the global power offset.
response:
none
example:
CONF1:OFFS:WAV:STAT ON
affects:
All attenuator modules.
command:
:CONFigure[
n
][:CHANnel[
m
]]:OFFSet:WAVelength:STATe?
syntax:
:CONFigure[

m
]]:OFFSet:WAVelength:STATe?
description:
Queries whether the attenuator uses power values from its
λ
offset table .
parameters:
none
response:
boolean
0 The offset table is not used.
1 The attenuator uses its
λ
offset table.
example:
CONF1:OFFS:WAV:STAT?
->
0<END>
affects:
All attenuator modules.
