Description
For an optical path calibration, turns on or off the Require Confirmation After Measurement setting. Sending this command before the calibration is started globally sets the condition for all path calibrations. If turned on, the current path calibration's success, measured power, and path loss can be queried using the commands shown in the following table. If successful, confirm and accept the path calibration by sending the :CALibrate:OPTical:CONFirm command.

You can, if needed, configure an individual path calibration to be different than the global condition. For example, you could turn the setting off at the start of the calibration and when a specific
