MEASure{:ARRay | [:SCALar]} :POWer:WAVelength?
Returns wavelength values.
Syntax
:POWer:WAVelength? [<expected_value>[,<resolution>]]
Description
When used with a :SCALar command, a single value is returned. The display is
placed in the single-wavelength mode, and the marker is placed on the signal
having a wavelength that is closest to the
<expected_value>
parameter.
Default units for
<expected_value>
parameter are in meters.
When used with an :ARRay command, an array of wavelengths is returned.
The display is placed in the list-by-wavelength mode.
The
<resolution>
parameter sets the resolution of the measurement. It is a
unitless number whose value will be limited to either 0.01 or 0.001 (whichever
is closer).
Returned values are in meters. Displayed units are nanometers. Power units
are not affected.
<expected_value>
Constants
MAXimum The highest wavelength signal
MINimum The lowest wavelength signal
DEFault The current marker position

CONFigure command
When this function is used with the CONFigure command, the query question mark char-
acter “?”
must
not
be included in the string. However, the FETCh, READ, and MEASure
command are queries and require the question mark. Refer to the examples for this com-
mand.
