User Calibration Commands
This is done with the :UCALibration:STARt command
10. λ=λStart
11. Repeat the following steps until λ>λStop.
a. Set λ on the tunable laser source, the attenuator and the
powe r meter.
b. Read the power (Power).
c. Power = -Power.
d. Set the user calibration valu e to Power.
This is done with the :UCALibration:VALue command
e. λ = λ + λStepsize
12. Stop the user calibration.
This is done with the :UCALibration:STOP command
:UCALibration:STARt
Syntax :UCALibration:STARt <wsp>
<start_value> , <step_value>
Description This command starts the entering of the user
calibration data.
You must send two values with this command,
the wavelength of the first calibra tio n point,
and the spacing between the calibration points.
The default units for both values are meters.
The minimum value for th e star t wavelength is
1200nm, an d the minimum value for the step
size is 0.1nm, the maximum value for the step
size is 10nm. Other than this, the start and step
values must satisfy the formula
start value + ((number of step - 1 ) × step value} ≤ 1650nm
where the numb er of steps must b e in the range
10 to 401.
