spectrum value.

Syntax

:SOURce[1..n]:WAVelength[:CW]<wsp>

<Wavelength[<wsp>M|HZ]>|MAXimum|

Parameter(s)

Wavelength:
The program data syntax for <Wavelength> is

defined as a <numeric_value> element

followed by an optional <SUFFIX PROGRAM

DATA> element. The allowed <SUFFIX

PROGRAM DATA> elements are: M|HZ. The

<Wavelength> special forms MINimum,

MAXimum and DEFault are accepted on input.

MINimum allows to set the instrument to the

smallest supported value.

MAXimum allows to set the instrument to the

greatest supported value.

DEFault allows the instrument to select a value

for the <Wavelength> parameter.

This parameter represents the new wavelength

in meters or in hertz. If you do not specify a unit,

the device will use the current spectrum unit. To

select the current spectrum unit, use the

UNIT[1..n]:SPECtrum command.
