]][:CHANnel[
m
]]:WAVelength:SWEep:DWELl
syntax:
[:SOURce[
n
]][:CHANnel[
m
]]:WAVelength:SWEep:DWELl<wsp>
<value>|MIN|MAX|DEF[NS|US|MS|S]
description:
Sets the dwell time. Can only be used when sweep is stepped.
Cannot be set while a sweep is running.
parameters:
The dwell time as a
float
value.
If you specify no units in your command, seconds are used as the default.
Also allowed are:
MIN: minimum programmable value
MAX: maximum programmable value
DEF: This is not the preset (*RST) default value but is half the sum of, the minimum
programmable value and the maximum programmable value
response:
none
example:
wav:swe:dwel 500ms
affects:
All tunable laser modules, except 81950A.
