Polarization Commands
Command:
:POLarimeter:WAVelength
Syntax:
:POLarimeter:WAVelength<wsp><wavelength> [PM|NM|UM|MM|M]|MINimum|MAXimum|DEFault
Description:
This command sets the current wavelength / start wavelength.
Parameters:
The wavelength as a float value. If you specify no units in your command, meters are used as the default.
Example:
:POLarimeter:WAVelength 1.550E-06
Affects
N7781C / N7786C / N7788C
Command:
:POLarimeter:WAVelength?
Syntax:
:POLarimeter:WAVelength? [MINimum|MAXimum|DEFault]
Description:
Returns wavlength
Parameters:
Optional
Response
The wavelength as a float value in meters.
Example:
:pol:wav? 1.550E-06
Affects
N7781C / N7786C / N7788C
Command:
:POLarimeter:GAIN
Syntax:
:POLarimeter:GAIN<wsp><gain level>
Description:
0...5 = High Bandwith about 250kHz
6,7 = Medium Bandwith about 100kHz
8,9 = Slow Bandwith about 10kHz
NOTE - Use only gain between 0 and 7 for Stabilizer Mode because 8 and 9 have a small Bandwith.
For best results check the Leveling of the Polarimeter. Look at the POL:SWE:LPR? command.
Maximum Speed is at Gain 0 to 5
Even Gains have Factors of 10 and odd Gains Factors of 8. Choose what fits better.
Parameters:
Gain level as integer
Response
Gain level as integer
Example:
:pol:gain 5
Affects
N7781C / N7786C / N7788C
64
MINimum: Returns the minimum wavelength
MAXimum: Returns the maximum wavelength
DEFault: Returns default wavelength
