Specific Commands Specific Command Summary
50 Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B & 8166A/B Mainframes, Fifth Edition
[:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]:]READout
:DATA? Returns number of datapoints returned by the
[:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:READout:POINts? command.
page 129
:DATA:BLOCk? Returns a specified binary block from either a lambda logging op-
eration, or maximum power at wavelength characteristic.
page 129
:DATA:MAXBlocksize? Returns the maximum blocksize that a lambda logging, or maxi-
mum power at wavelength characteristic will return.
page 129
:POINts? Returns the data as a binary stream from either a lambda logging
operation or the maximum power the laser can produce at each
wavelength.
page 130
[:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]:]WAVelength
[:CW[l]:FIXED] Sets the absolute wavelength of a source. page 130
[:CW[l]:FIXED[l]]? Returns the absolute wavelength of a source. page 131
:FREQuency[l]/? Sets the frequency difference used to calculate a relative wave-
length for a source.
page 134
:REFerence[l]? Returns the reference wavelength of a source. page 135
[:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]:]WAVelength:CORRection
:ARA Realigns the laser cavity. page 131
:ARA:ALL Realigns the laser cavity of every tunable laser source in the
mainframe.
page 132
:AUTocalib Sets or returns tunable laser source Auto Calibration state. page 132
:ZERO Executes a wavelength zero. page 132
:ZERO:ALL Executes a wavelength zero on every tunable laser source in the
mainframe.
page 133
:ZERO:TEMPerature:ACTual? Reports the current lambda zero temperature page 133
:ZERO:TEMPerature:DIFFerence? Reports the temperature difference required to trigger an auto
lamda zero.
page 134
:ZERO:TEMPerature:LASTzero? Reports the temperature at which the last auto lamda zero took
place.
page 134
:ZERO:AUTO Forces an auto lamda zero. This is quicker than the equilavent
manual process.

[:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]:]WAVelength:REFerence
:DISPlay Sets the reference wavelength of a source to the value of the out-
put wavelength.
