IGEN

Example

10

OUTPUT

723;"IGEN

0.100;"

Set the current source to +100 mA.

 

20

OUTPUT

723;"IGEN

ON;"

Turn the current source on.

Description The IGEN command turns on the optical spectrum analyzer's current source. The output of the source is available at the rear-panel CURRENT SOURCE

connector. When using IGEN to set the current level of the source, enter current values in amperes. The current level applies for both steady state and pulsed operation. (Use IGENDTYCY or IGENPW to enter pulsed mode.)

The maximum IGEN current available at the output connector is limited by the IGENLIMIT setting. If a value is sent for IGEN that is greater than the IGENLIMIT setting and the analyzer is queried, the value returned is the IGENLIMIT value.
