Using the Optical Spectrum Analyzer

The Markers Menus

Use Marker Search Threshold

This limits the marker search function to data points above the selected threshold level.

Marker Search Threshold Value

Selects the amplitude threshold value used for limiting the marker search function. When Marker Search Threshold is ON, a dotted line is shown on the display at the threshold level.

Noise Marker Reference Bandwidth

Sets the normalization bandwidth for the noise marker. There are two allowable settings: 1 nm and 0.1 nm.

Note

Changing this value will change the value of the noise marker by 10 dB.

Peak Search at End of Each Sweep

Finds the peak value of the trace and moves the marker to the peak at the end of each sweep. This function operates on the active marker. This function operates on normal, delta, bandwidth and noise markers.
