Programming Commands

CALCulate2 Subsystem

WLIMit:STOP[:WAVelength]

Sets the stopping wavelength for the wavelength limit range.

Syntax

:CALCulate2:WLIMit:STOP[:WAVelength] {?{<real> MINimum MAXimum }}

 

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

 

Constant

Description

 

MINimum

start wavelength limit

 

MAXimum

1650.0 nm

Attribute

Non- sequential command

Summary

Preset State: 1650 nm

 

*RST State: 1650 nm

 

SCPI Compliance: instrument specific

Description

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

 

default units for the <real> parameter are meters. The stop wavelength

 

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

 

the stop wavelength will be clipped to the start wavelength and a

 

“Data out of range” error will be generated. Setting the start wave-

 

length is equivalent to setting the start frequency/wavenumber because

 

of the inverse relationship of frequency to wavelength.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

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.
