Selecting the Wavelength Calibration Data
You enter the us er wavelength calibration data over the GPIB (see
“User Calibration Commands” on page 123).
Using your own wavelength calibratio n data, you can use the
attenuator to compensate for the total wave length dependence of
your hardware configuration.
NOTE If you are us ing the instrument in an environment where the
temperature changes, you should not use the user wavelength
calibration data, as it lacks correction for temp erature changes.
To se lect the wavelength calibration data to use
1. Press SYST repeatedly until USERCAL is shown at the bottom of
the display.
2. Select the wavelength calibration data using the Modify keys.
OFF means that the instrument uses the factory-made
wavelength calibration data
ON means that the user wavelength calibration data is used.
While it is ON, USERCAL is shown at the bottom left of the
disp lay (U/L-CAL is show n if the LAMBDCAL is also on).

Resetting the Wavelength Calibration Data Set
To reset USERCAL, press and hold SYST until the va lue resets (this
takes approximately two seconds).
USERCAL resets to OFF.
