The Wavelength Menus

The Wavelength Menus

The Wavelength softkeys are accessed using the front-panel Wavelength key or the Measure menu Wavelength selection on the menu bar. If you wish to change the wavelength settings, the front-panel Wavelength key provides access to the following functions and setup panels:

Note

When the optical spectrum analyzer is first turned on, the wavelength range is set to the full 1100 nm span (600 nm to 1700 nm). Sweeps begin at the shortest wavelength (start) and end at the longest wavelength (stop). You can set the center, stop, start, and span wavelength values. The span is set symmetrically about the center wavelength.
