4 Measurement Operations & Settings
command: [:SOURce[ n ]][:CHANnel[ m ]]:WAVelength:SWEep:SOFTtrigger
syntax: [:SOURce[ n ]][:CHANnel[ m ]]:WAVelength:SWEep:SOFTtrigger
description: Softtrigger does the same as a normal (hardware) trigger at the backplane, but it doesn’t cause a PM to take a measurement
because it is only a (software) message sent to the tunable laser source. It only works in continuous sweep, but for 81602A,
81606A, 81607A, 81608A, 81609A it works in stepped mode, too.
Usage:
- Trigger input configuration: Start Sweep
- Start Sweep
- SoftTrigger
parameters: none
response: none
example: sour0:wav:sweep:soft
affects: All tunable laser modules except 81649A, Keysight 81689A/B, 81949A, 81989, and 81950A.
command: [:SOURce[ n ]][:CHANnel[ m ]]:WAVelength:SWEep:SPEed
syntax: [:SOURce[ n ]][:CHANnel[ m ]]:WAVelength:SWEep:SPEed<wsp><speed>
[NM/S|UM/S|MM/S|M/S|]
description: Sets the speed for continuous sweeping.
Cannot be set while a sweep is running.
parameters: Speed as a float value in meters per second (m/s).
response: none
example: wav:swe:spe 10nm/s
affects: All tunable laser modules that support continuous sweeps.
command: [:SOURce[ n ]][:CHANnel[ m ]]:WAVelength:SWEep:SPEed?
syntax: [:SOURce[ n ]][:CHANnel[ m ]]:WAVelength:SWEep:SPEed?[<wsp>MIN|MAX]
description: Returns the speed for continuous sweeping.
parameters: optional MIN Returns the minimum sweep speed available.
MAX Returns the maximum sweep speed available.
