Example 1. Measure a DFB laser
This program measures the power and wavelength of a DFB laser. It first sets
the Agilent 86120B in the single-acquisition measurement mode. Then, it trig-
gers the Agilent 86120B with the MEASure command to capture measure-
ment data of the input spectrum. Because the data is stored in the
instrument’s memory, it can be queried as needed.
Refer to the introduction to this section for a description of each subroutine
that is contained in this program.
