Measurement Operations & Settings Signal Generation – The SOURce Subsystem
138 Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B & 8166A/B Mainframes, Fifth Edition
command:
[:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:SWEep:DWELl
syntax: [:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:SWEep:DWELl<wsp>
<value>|MIN|MAX|DEF[NS|US|MS|S]
description: Sets the dwell time. Can only be used when sweep is stepped.
NOTE
Cannot be set while a sweep is running.
parameters: The dwell time as a float value.
If you specify no units in your command, seconds are used as the default.
Also allowed are: MIN: minimum programmable value
MAX: maximum programmable value
DEF: This is not the preset (*RST) default value but is half the sum of, the
minimum programmable value and the maximum programmable value
response: none
example: wav:swe:dwel 500ms
affects: All tunable laser modules
command:
[:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:SWEep:DWELl?
syntax: [:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:SWEep:DWELl?[<wsp>MIN|MAX|DEF]
description: Returns the dwell time. Can only be used when sweep is stepped.
parameters: none
Also allowed are: MIN: minimum programmable value
MAX: maximum programmable value
DEF: This is not the preset (*RST) default value but is half the sum of, the
minimum programmable value and the maximum programmable value
response: The dwell time in seconds.
example: wav:swe:dwel? → +5.00000000E-001<END>
affects: All tunable laser modules
command:
[:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:SWEep:EXPectedtriggers?
syntax: [:SOURce[n]][:CHANnel[m]]:WAVelength:SWEep:EXPectedtriggers?
description: Returns the number of triggers. A tunable laser wavelength sweep causes a number of trig-
gers, this number is required to configure a triggering data acquisition function on a power
meter. The number returned by this function can be used to configure a Power Meter for co-
ordinated measurements with a tunable laser source (see command
“:SENSe[n][:CHANnel[m]]:FUNCtion:PARameter:LOGGing” on page 94).
parameters: none
response: the number of expected triggers as an unsigne integer value.
example: sour0:wav:swe:exp? → 12001
affects: All tunable laser modules except Agilent 81649A and Agilent 81689A/B
