command: :OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]]:PATH?
syntax: :OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]]:PATH?
description: Returns the regulated path.
parameters: none
response: HIGH:
LOWS:
BHR:
BLR:
The High Power output is regulated.
The Low SSE output is regulated.
Both outputs are active but only the High Power output is Regulated.
Both outputs are active but only the Low SSE output is Regulated.
example: output0:path? → HIGH<END>
affects: Tunable laser modules with two outputs.
command: :OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]][:STATe]
syntax: :OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]][:STATe]<wsp>OFF|ON|0|1
description:
NOTE
Switches the laser curre nt off and on.
The laser emi ts light onl y when the current is on . Set the sta te to OFF or 0 to sw itch t he laser
current off . Set the sta te to ON or 1 to switch t he lase r curre nt on. T he def ault is for the laser
current to be off.
For attenuator output see page 156
parameters: 0 or OFF:
1 or ON:
switch laser current off
switch laser current on
response: none
example: outp 1
affects: All laser sources, DFB sources, tunable laser modules and return loss modu les with an inter-
nal source
command: :OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]][:STATe]?
syntax: :OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]][:STATe]?
description:
NOTE
Queries the current state of the laser current.
For attenuator output see page156
parameters: none
response: A boolean value: 0 – laser current off
1 – laser current on
example: outp? → 1<END>
affects: All laser sources, DFB sources, tunable laser m odules and return loss modules with an inter-
nal source
