Signal Generation – The SOURce Subsystem Measurement Operations & Settings
Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B & 8166A/B Mainframes, Fifth Edition 143
command:
[:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:SWEep:SOFTtrigger
syntax: [:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:SWEep:SOFTtrigger
description: Softtrigger does the same as a normal (hardware) trigger at the backplane, but it doesn’t
cause a PM to take a measurement because it is only a (software) message sent to the tun-
able laser source. It only works in continuous sweep.
Usage:
- Trigger input configuration: Start Sweep
- Start Sweep
- SoftTrigger
parameters: none
response: none
example: sour0:wav:sweep:soft
affects: All tunable laser modules except Agilent 81649A and Agilent 81689A/B
command:
[:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:SWEep:SPEed
syntax: [:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:SWEep:SPEed<wsp><speed>
[NM/S|UM/S|MM/S|M/S|]
description: Sets the speed for continuous sweeping.
NOTE Cannot be set while a sweep is running.
parameters: Speed as a float value in meters per second (m/s).
response: none
example: wav:swe:spe 10nm/s
affects: All tunable laser modules except Agilent 81649A and Agilent 81689A/B
command:
[:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:SWEep:SPEed?
syntax: [:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:SWEep:SPEed?[<wsp>MIN|MAX]
description: Returns the speed for continuous sweeping.
parameters: optional MIN Returns the minimum sweep speed available.
MAX Returns the maximum sweep speed available.
response: Speed as a float value in meters per second (m/s).
example: wav:swe:spe? → +5.00000000E-008<END>
affects: All tunable laser modules except Agilent 81649A and Agilent 81689A/B
