General Information
This instrument has three types of commands:
• Common commands
• Standard SCPI commands
• Instrument specific commands
Common
commands The common commands are the commands defined by IEEE 488.2. These
commands control some functions that are common to all IEEE 488.2 instru-
ments. Common command headers consist of only a single mnemonic pre-
ceded by an asterisk.
Example:
*RST
Standard SCPI
commands The standard SCPI commands are the STATUS subsystem commands required
for compatibility with SCPI. In most instruments, the STATUS subsystem com-
mands are used to report device-dependent errors. In the lightwave switch,
these commands have no function but are included for SCPI compatibility.
Standard SCPI command headers are compound headers consisting of two or
more mnemonics.
Example:
:STATUS:OPERATION:ENABLE
Instrument
specific commands Instrument specific commands are those commands which are specific to the
control of the switch. These commands control switch movements and report
the configuration of the switch. Instrument specific commands are compound
headers consisting of two or more mnemonics.
Example:
:ROUTE:LAYER:CHANNEL
Setting the switches
Use the [:ROUTe]:[LAYer]:CHANnel command to set the channel connections
for a particular switch layer. A layer is a particular switch matrix that creates a
path from an “A” port to a “B” port. When the lightwave switch has multiple
