:OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]]:PATH?
:OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]]:PATH?
Returns the regulated path.
none
HIGH: The High Power output is regulated.
LOWS: The Low SSE output is regulated.
BHR: Both outputs are active but only the High Power output is Regulated.
BLR: Both outputs are active but only the Low SSE output is Regulated.
→
output0:path? HIGH<END>
Tunable laser modules with two outputs.
:OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]][:STATe]
:OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]][:STATe]<wsp>OFF|ON|0|1
Switches the laser current off and on.
The laser emits light only when the current is on. Set the state to OFF or 0 to switch the laser
current off. Set the state to ON or 1 to switch the laser current on. The default is for the laser
current to be off.
For attenuator output see page 156
0 or OFF: switch laser current off
1 or ON: switch laser current on
none
outp 1
All laser sources, DFB sources, tunable laser modules and return loss modules with an inter-
nal source
:OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]][:STATe]?
:OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]][:STATe]?
Queries the current state of the laser current.
For attenuator output see page 156
none
A boolean value:
→
outp? 1<END>
All laser sources, DFB sources, tunable laser modules and return loss modules with an inter-
nal source
Signal Generation – The SOURce Subsystem
0 – laser current off
1 – laser current on
