WLIMit:STOP:FREQuency

 

 

Sets the stopping frequency for the wavelength limit range.

Syntax

 

:CALCulate2:WLIMit:STOP:FREQuency {?{<real> MINimum MAXimum }}

 

 

<real> is a frequency value that is within the following limits:

 

 

Constant

Description

 

 

MINimum

start wavelength limit

 

 

MAXimum

236.0571 THz (1270 nm)

Attribute

 

Non- sequential command

Summary

 

Preset State: 236.0571 THz

 

 

*RST State: 236.0571 THz

 

 

SCPI Compliance: instrument specific

Description

 

This command sets the stopping range for the wavelength limit. The

 

 

default units for the <real> parameter are Hz. The stop frequency

 

 

value must be greater than or equal to the start frequency value or the

 

 

stop frequency will be clipped to the start frequency and a “Data out

 

 

of range” error will be generated.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Non-sequential command

 

 

 

Always use an *OPC? query or a *WAI command to ensure that this command has

 

 

 

the time to complete before sending any more commands to the instrument. Refer

 

 

 

to “Always force the Agilent 86120C to wait for non-sequential commands” on

 

 

 

page 3-12for more information.
