SOURce:WAVelength
Description This command selects a new source wavelength.
Syntax SOUR:WAV<wsp><wave>
Parameters The <wave> parameter represents the new wavelength in the
9999.999 nm or 999.9999 THz format.
Note This function cannot be performed while the source is
performing a sweep.
If you do not specify a unit, the system will return the value in
the current spectral unit (nm or THz). To specify the units you
want to use, add NM or THZ after your query
(e.g., SOUR:WAV<wsp><wave><wsp>NM).
Example SOUR:WAV 1550.000

SOURce:WAVelength?
Description This query returns the current source wavelength.
Syntax SOUR:WAV?
Response A value representing the current wavelength in the 9999.999 nm
or 999.9999 THz format.
Note If you do not specify a unit, the system will return the value in
the current spectral unit (nm or THz). To specify the units you
want to use, add NM or THZ after your query
(e.g., SOUR:WAV?<wsp>NM).
