Specific Commands

SENSe:POWer:WAVElength

Description This command selects a new operating wavelength (for the

selected channel when using a PM-1620). If this command is

sent while an acquisition is in progress, the “Acquisition already

running” error message will be raised.

Syntax

SENS:POW:WAVE [NM]

Parameters The parameter is an operating wavelength

in nm. Any wavelength within the spectral range of the power

meter optical detector at 0.01 nm resolution may be selected.

See the power meter instruction manual for the exact spectral

range of each detector type. An invalid parameter will raise a

“Data type error” message.

Example

SENS:POW:WAVE 1310.12

SENSe:POWer:WAVElength?

Description This query returns the currently selected wavelength (for the

selected channel when using a PM-1620).

Syntax

SENS:POW:WAVE?

Response

The current wavelength in nanometers (nm) in the “9999.99”

format.

Example

SENS:POW:WAVE?
1310.12
