

The WAVE:REFerence command is used to set the wavelength reference point for future
delta wavelength measurements.

Parameters

The <nrf> parameter is a floating point number representing the reference wavelength.
The <suffix> is an approved wavelength suffix as shown in Table 3.2. If the suffix is
omitted, nanometers is assumed.

Notes

The display mode should be in DISPLAY



mode before this command is sent. Sending

the WAVE:MODE DELTA ON command or pressing the DISPLAY



button assigns a

reference wavelength. Use this command to change the reference point while in the



mode.

The wavelength reference point may be queried by sending WAVE:REFerence?

Examples

“WAVE:REFERENCE 15000 CM” - action: the reference wavelength is set to
15000 cm

-1

“WAVE:REF 632.8” - action: the reference wavelength is set to 632.8 nm.
