Programming Commands

 

 

CALCulate3 Subsystem

 

 

 

 

 

 

DELTa:POWer[:STATe]

 

 

Turns the delta- power measurement mode on and off.

Syntax

 

:CALCulate3:DELTa:POWer[:STATe]{? {ON OFF 1 0}}

Attribute

 

Preset State: off

Summary

 

*RST State: off

 

 

SCPI Compliance: instrument specific

Description

 

When this state is on, the power of the reference laser line is sub-

 

 

tracted from the power values of all laser lines except the reference.

 

 

The power data returned by the CALC3:DATA? query is the array of

 

 

laser line power levels normalized to the power level of the reference

 

 

laser line. The power of the reference laser line is returned as an

 

 

absolute power (unnormalized). The frequency data returned is the

 

 

array of absolute frequency values.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Note

 

 

 

Only one STATe command can be turned on at any one time. Attempting to turn

 

 

 

more than one state on at a time results in a “–221 Settings Conflict” error. Refer

 

 

 

to “Measure delta, drift, and signal-to-noise” on page 3-14 for additional informa-

 

 

 

tion on selecting measurements.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

DELTa:PRESet

 

 

Turns off all delta measurement states.

Syntax

 

:CALCulate3:DELTa:PRESet

Attribute

 

Preset State: not affected

Summary

 

*RST State: not affected
