[:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:SWEep:SOFTtrigger
[:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:SWEep:SOFTtrigger
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
