The hierarchy of commands for the MAP EDFA is shown in Figure 9
Figure 9: Hierarchy of SCPI Commands for EDFA
To generate a command, follow the tree from the highest node down to the command in the
bold block. Each of the commands that can be generated is explained in detail in the following
subsections. Only commands specific to the EDFA are described here. System level MAP
commands are explained in the MAP User Manual.
The following sections explain how to use the EDFA. Two ways of setting each parameter, or
performing a specific operation are described. The first is the use of the SCPI command,
through either the GPIB or RS232 interface. The second is by using the local keypad, if
available for that operation.
When a SCPI command is used, the local keypad is automatically locked out (except for some
commands explicitly identified). This is indicated by the red lock sign at the top right-hand
corner of the local display. The keypad can be used to temporarily unlock the local interface,
which remains unlocked as long as a command is not sent over the remote interface.
