To perform a wavelength zero:
1 Move to the Tunable Laser channel and press Menu.
2 Move to <λ Zeroing> and press [OK]. You will see the screen in Figure 84.
3 Wait several minutes. This time depends on how much the wavelength of the
instrument has drifted since the last Wavelength Zero was performed.
NOTE The instrument automatically performs a Wavelength Zero if there is a ± 5 K
temperature change since the last Wavelength Zero was performed.
