This chapter gives descriptions of commands that you can use when you
are setting up or performing measurements. The commands are split up
into the following subsystems:
• Root layer commands that take power measurements, configures
triggering, and return information about the mainframe and it's slots
• SENSe subsystem commands that control Power Sensors, Optical Head
Interface Modules, and Return Loss Modules.
• SOURce subsystem commands that control Laser Source modules, DFB
source modules, Tunable Laser modules, and Return Loss Modules with
internal laser sources.
• Signal Conditioing commands that control Attenuator modules.
• TRIGger subsystem commands that control triggering.
