Using the OSA

Using the OSA

In this chapter, there are sections on both the menus and the front-panel keys.

Any of the instrument settings can be changed by using either the front-panel keys or the menu bar selections. Many of the menu selections and front-panel keys display a softkey panel. Settings in softkey panels are changed using the softkeys, data-entry keys, mouse, and trackball.

To perform an Automatic Alignment

For maximum amplitude accuracy, perform an automatic alignment whenever the optical spectrum analyzer has been moved, subjected to large temperature changes, or following warm-up. This function can also be accessed by choosing the Measure menu Auto Align selection on the menu bar. For a complete description of the Auto Align function, see the Auto Align section on the next page.
