Description
10 OUTPUT 723;"SENS DN;"
The SENS command sets the instrument's sensitivity. When the AUTO argument is used, the optical spectrum analyzer automatically selects the sensitivity based on the current reference level. If video bandwidth is set manually, its value is also used to determine the sensitivity. Autoranging is turned o with AUTO. When the SENS command is set to MAN, autoranging is allowed and the video bandwidth is reduced, if necessary, to provide the requested sensitivity. The default units for the sensitivity include Watts for linear mode and dBm for log mode.
