:OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]]:PATH
:OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]]:PATH<wsp><path>
Sets the regulated path.
HIGHpower:
The High Power output is regulated.
LOWSse:
The Low SSE output is regulated.
BHRegulated:
Both outputs are active but only the High Power output is Regulated.
BLRegulated:
Both outputs are active but only the Low SSE output is Regulated.

output1:path high
All tunable laser modules
: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.

All tunable laser modules
: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.
0 or OFF:
switch laser current off
1 or ON:
switch laser current on
none
outp 1
All laser source, DFB source, tunable laser modules and return loss modules with an in-
ternal source
:OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]][:STATe]?
:OUTPut[n][:CHANnel[m]][:STATe]?
Returns the current state of the laser current.
none
A boolean value:
→
outp?
1<END>
All laser source, DFB source, tunable laser modules and return loss modules with an inter-
nal source
Measurement Operations & Settings
0 – laser current off
1 – laser current on
