Basic script example 

The following commands can be a minimal script to perform a basic set up of the unit 

and read the data 

Command 

Comment 

*IDN?; 

WAV 1550; 
pow 14; 

stat 1; 

busy?; 

Query idn string of unit 
Sets Laser 1-1-1 Wavelength to 1550nm 
Sets output Power of laser 1-1-1 to 14 dBm 
Enables Laser 1-1-1 output 
Queries if the laser port has finished tuning and has settled on target 
settings that were set before 

 

Screenshot of script example result using Putty as a terminal Program: 

 

 

<ENTER> was used to execute the command. Alternatively, use “;”.

 

<ENTER> was used to 

execute the command. Alternatively, use “;”.

 If both is used, it 

is interpreted as 2 commands of which the second one is empty so that the first 

command is executed but the second produces an error since empty. 

 

7.3

 

Laser port addressing scheme 

Laser ports are addressed by a three-level port identifier that allows easy 

identification of the port and are issued as parameters with according commands. 

Each level parameter is separated by a “,” character.

 

If not laser port address is added to the command, Laser port 1,1,1 is addressed 

automatically, i.e. 

SOUR:WAV?

 Queries the wavelength setting of laser port 1.
