command:
[:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:SWEep:MODE
syntax: [:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:SWEep:MODE<wsp><mode>
description: Sets the sweep mode.
NOTE Cannot be set while a sweep is running.
parameters: STEPped:
MANual:
CONTinuous:
Stepped sweep mode
Manual sweep mode
Continuous sweep mode
response: none
example: wav:swe:mode STEP

command:
[:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:SWEep:PMAX?
syntax: [:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:SWEep:PMAX?<wsp><start wavelength>,
<stop wavelength>
description: Returns the power to the highest permissible power for the selected wavelength sweep.
parameters: start wavelength:
stop wavelength:
The wavelength at which the sweep starts as a float value.
The wavelength at which the sweep starts as a float value.
response: The highest permissible power for the selected wavelength sweep as a float value.
example: wav:swe:pmax? 1540nm,1550nm → +3.5500000E-004<END>
affects: All tunable laser modules
