C Remote Control

Your Tunable Laser Source can be remotely controlled by either the

GPIB interface (through a GPIB cable connected to the GPIB port), or

RS-232 interface (through a serial cable connected to the serial port).

The commands used in both protocols are the same and described in the
following pages. When the FLS-2600B is being remotely controlled by
GPIB, Remote appears in the upper right-hand corner of the display.

Note: If you have already designed a GPIB program to control a Tunable Laser

Source from EXFO’s IQS Series (IQS-2600B), you can reuse sections for the
FLS-2600B.

Setting the FLS-2600B for Remote Control

To remotely control the FLS-2600B, you need to set a GPIB address or
activate the RS-232 port.

To set the remote control mode:
1.
Press Setup.

2. Turn the selection dial clockwise until REMOTE is displayed.

The current setting appears.
