This chapter gives descriptions of commands that you can use when you
are setting up or performing measurements. The commands are split up
into the following subsystems:
•
Root layer commands that take power measurements, configures
triggering, and return information about the mainframe and it’s slots
• SENSe
subsystem commands that control Power Sensors, Optical
Head Interface Modules, and Return Loss Modules.
• SOURce
subsystem commands that control Laser Source modules,
DFB source modules, Tunable Laser modules, and Return Loss Modules
with internal laser sources.
•
Signal Conditioning commands that control Attenuator modules.
• TRIGger
