command:

[:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:CORRection:ARA:ALL

 

syntax:

[:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:CORRection:ARA:ALL

description:

Realigns the laser cavity of every tunable laser source in a mainframe.

parameters:

none

response:

none

example:

sour0:wav:corr:ara:all

affects:

All tunable laser modules except Agilent 81649A and Agilent 81689A/B

 

 

 

 

command:

[:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:CORRection:AUTocalib

 

syntax:

[:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:CORRection:AUTocalib<wsp>ON (1) OFF (0)

description:

Sets the Auto Calibration feature On or OFF. Switching it OFF enables the TLS to operate for

 

a long period without interruption from the "auto lambda zeroing" or settling. When Auto

 

Calibration is disabled, it is possible to operate the TLS at a temperature that differs more

 

than 4.4 K from the last Lambda Zeroing temperature. In this case, the accuracy and wave-

 

length performance of the TLS can become less optimal due to temperature variation. The

 

relevent accuracy class is indicated on the user interface when Auto Calibration is off.

parameters:

a boolean value: 1 or ON: enable Autocalibration

 

0 or OFF: disable Autocalibration

response:

none

example:

sour0:wav:corr:aut 0

affects:

All tunable laser modules except Agilent 81649A, 81689A/B and Agilent 81980A, 81940A,

 

81989A, 81949A.
