]][:CHANnel[
m
]]:READout:POINts?
syntax:
[:SOURce[
n
]][:CHANnel[
m
]:READout:POINts?<wsp>LLOGging|PMAX
description:
Returns the number of datapoints that the [:SOURce[
n
]][:CHANnel[
m
]]:READout:DATA? command will return.
parameters:
LLOGging:
PMAX:
Returns the number of wavelength steps for a lambda logging operation, see
page 170.
Returns the number of datapoints (each datapoint contains a value for wavelength and power) the
[:SOURce[
n
]][:CHANnel[
m
]]:READout:DATA? PMAX command will return, number of datapoints depends
on the calibration data for your module.
response:
The number of datapoints as an
integer
value.
example:
sour2:read:poin? pmax -> 120<END>
affects:
All tunable laser and DFB source modules

[PM|NM|UM|MM|M]
description:
Sets the absolute wavelength of the output.
parameters:
Any wavelength in the specified range (see the specifications in the appropriate
User’s Guide
).
The programmable range is larger than the range specified in the
User’s Guide
. The programmable range is set individually
for each instrument when it is calibrated during production.
Also allowed are:
MIN: minimum wavelength value
MAX: maximum wavelength value
DEF: This is not the preset (*RST) default value but is half the sum of, the minimum
wavelength value and the maximum wavelength value
Use [
l
] to set the upper or lower wavelength laser source of a dual-wavelength laser source. The default value of [
l
] is
1
, the
lower wavelength source. The upper wavelength source is denoted by
2
. For 81950A, only available in "Auto Mode". "CW"
and "Fixed" are just present for backwards compatibility.
response:
none
example:
sour2:wav 1550NM
affects:
All tunable laser including 81950A and DFB source modules
