Product-Specific Commands—Description
:OUTPut[1..n]:POWer
Description This command sets the absolute output power to
a specific value. The valid range of values
depends on the type of instrument, the
configuration, the current wavelength, and the
input power. This value is used only when the
POWer control mode is active.
At *RST, the value that will be set depends on the
instrument you have.
Syntax :OUTPut[1..n]:POWer<wsp><Power[<wsp>D
BM]>|MAXimum|MINimum|DEFault
Parameter(s) Power:
The program data syntax for <Power> is defined
as a <numeric_value> element followed by an
optional <SUFFIX PROGRAM DATA> element.
The allowed <SUFFIX PROGRAM DATA>
element is DBM. The <Power> special forms
MINimum, MAXimum and DEFault are accepted
on input.
MINimum allows to set the instrument to the
lowest supported value.
MAXimum allows to set the instrument to the
highest supported value.
DEFault allows the instrument to select a value
for the <Power> parameter.
The <Power> parameter is a valid output power
in dBm. You can use the OUTPut[1..n]:POWer?
MAX and OUTPut[1..n]:POWer? MIN queries to
determine a valid range for the output power.
