Measurement Instructions

MEASure{:ARRay [:SCALar]} :POWer:WAVe- length?

Returns wavelength values.

Syntax	:POWer:WAVelength? [<expected_value>[,<resolution>]]
	Used With	<expected_value>	<resolution>
	SCALar	optional	optional
	ARRay	ignoreda	optional

a. Although ignored, this argument must be present if the resolution argument is specified.

Description When used with a :SCALar command, a single value is returned. The display is placed in the single- wavelength mode, and the marker is placed on the signal having a wavelength that is closest to the <expected_value> parameter. Default units for <expected_value> parameter are in meters.

When used with an :ARRay command, an array of wavelengths is returned. The display is placed in the list- by- wavelength mode.

The <resolution> parameter sets the resolution of the measurement. It is a unitless number whose value will be limited to either 0.01 or 0.001 (whichever is closer).

Returned values are in meters. Displayed units are nanometers. Power units are not affected.

CONFigure command

When this function is used with the CONFigure command, the query question mark character “?” must not be included in the string. However, the FETCh, READ, and MEASure command are queries and require the question mark. Refer to the examples for this command.

<expected_value> MAXimum		The highest wavelength signal
Constants	MINimum	The lowest wavelength signal
	DEFault	The current marker position
