This chapter gives descriptions of comma nds that you can use when you
are setting up or performing measurements. The commands are split up
into the following subsystems:
• Root layer commands that take power measu rements, configures
triggering, and return information about the ma inframe and it’s slots
•SENSe subsystem co mmands tha t control Po wer Sensors , Optical He ad
Interface Modules, and Return Loss Modules.
•SOURce subsystem commands that control Laser Source modules, DFB
source modules, Tunable Laser modules, and Return Loss Modules with
internal laser sources.
• Signal Conditioing commands that control Attenuator modules.
•TRIGger subsystem commands that control triggering.
