Agilent Technologies 8163B Programming Guide

Signal Generation – The SOURce Subsystem Measurement Operations & Settings
Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B & 8166A/B Mainframes, Fifth Edition 113
Signal Generation – The SOURce
Subsystem
The SOURce subsystem allows you to control a laser source module, DFB
source module, tunable laser module, or a return loss module that has an
internal source.
command:
:OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]]:CONNection
syntax: OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]]:CONNection<wsp>MOD|VPP
description: Sets the analog output parameter.
parameters: MOD:
VPP:
The modulation frequency modulates the analog output.
Output Voltage is proportional to optical power.
response: none
example: outp0:conn mod
affects: All tunable laser modules with BNC ouput connector
command:
:OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]]:CONNection?
syntax: OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]]:CONNection?
description: Returns the analog output parameter.
parameters: none
response: MOD:
VPP:
The modulation frequency modulates the analog output.
Output Voltage is proportional to optical power.
example: outp0:conn? → MOD<END>
affects: All tunable laser modules with BNC ouput connector
command:
:OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]]:PATH
syntax: :OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]]:PATH<wsp><path>
description: Sets the regulated path.
parameters: HIGHpower:
LOWSse:
BHRegulated:
BLRegulated:
The High Power output is regulated.
The Low SSE output is regulated.
B
oth outputs are active but only the High Power output is Regulated.
B
oth outputs are active but only the Low SSE output is Regulated.
response: none
example: output0:path high
affects: Tunable laser modules with two outputs.
