FPM-8220 Set/Read Range

Set Range sets either the power measurement range or puts the instrument into auto-ranging mode.
The Range input is an integer from 0 to 7. The auto-range input is a boolean. If Auto is set to true, it
will take precedence over the Range input. Read Range returns the current power measurement
range (0-7) and whether or not the device is in auto-ranging mode (boolean).

FPM-8220 Set/Read Reference

Sets or reads the power reference value using a floating point number.

FPM-8220 Set/Read Wavelength

Sets or reads the measurement wavelength. The wavelength is an integer that can range from 800-
1650 (nm).

FPM-8220 Zero Instrument

This VI performs the instrument zeroing process. If there is an error during the zeroing process, the
boolean output "Zeroing error" is asserted.

FPM-8220 Example VI Description

FPM-8220 Example VI
This VI uses a number of sub-VI's to get the instrument and head IDs, as well as read the power in
Watts and dBm at a specified wavelength.
