Making Measurements
Commands are grouped in subsystems
The Keysight 86120B commands are grouped in the following subsystems. You’ll
find a description of each command in
Chapter 5, “Programming Commands”
.
Subsystem
Purpose of Commands
Measurement
Instructions
Perform frequency, wavelength, wavenumber, and coherence
length measurements.
CALCulate1
Queries
uncorrected
frequency-spectrum data.
CALCulate2
Queries
corrected
peak data and sets wavelength limits.
CALCulate3
Performs delta, drift, and signal-to-noise measurements.
DISPlay
Applies markers and displays power bars.
HCOPy
Prints measurement results.
SENSe
Sets elevation-correction values, selects readings for air or
vacuum, and enters amplitude offsets. Configures instrument
for measuring broadband devices and chirped lasers. Queries
time-domain values of the input data.
STATus
Queries instrument status registers.
SYSTem
Presets Keysight 86120B and queries error messages.
TRIGger
Stops current measurement. Acquires new measurement data.
Also used to select single or continuous acquisition of
measurement data.
UNIT
Sets the amplitude units to watts or dBm.
shows the kinds of measurements that the Keysight 86120B
can perform and the associated programming commands used to return that data. In
some cases, there is more than one method that can be used to obtain the desired
data. Refer to
Chapter 5, “Programming Commands”
for the correct syntax for these
commands.
