When the Smart Peak Detection (SPD) is enabled, this com
mand returns the engineering values according to the range
formula (FML) in all defined ranges of all channels.
When the Smart Peak Detection (SPD) is disabled, this com
mand returns the peak wavelength of the fiber Bragg grating
sensors in all channels.
This command is sent via port 3500 and corresponding data
is received through port 3365. The answer is a string starting
with the timestamp with the format
«YYYY.MM.DD:hh:mm:ss» followed with the values in grow
ing order of wavelength separated by ",", from all channels
separated by ":".
Note: on the conventional measurement method if there are
channels with no sensors, the answer will have no wave
length between ":". On the SPD method if there are no sen
sors detected within a defined range the interrogator returns
-998.
