Query Response
If the :MEAS:SCAL:POW:WNUM? 6451 command is sent, and a 1550 nm laser
line is present, the following response would be returned to the computer:
+6.45286262E+005
Notice that the returned units are m

. If six laser lines are measured and
:MEAS:ARR:POW:WNUM? is sent, the following response is returned. Notice
that the first returned number indicates the number of laser-line values
returned in the query.
