Tunable Lasers How to Perform a Wavelength Sweep
136 Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B & 8166A/B Mainframes, Sixth Edition
• Select <Oneway>, if you want to start every sweep cycle at
[λ Start] and to end every sweep cycle at [λ Stop].
Figure 71 illustrates how these modes work for a three-cycle wavelength
sweep.

How to Set the Maximum Power for the Sweep Range
Pressing [Pmax/Swp] sets the power to the maximum for the selected
sweep range. Alternatively, you can set a power level in the way described
in “How to Set the Output Power of a CW Signal” on page 122. Pressing
[Pmax/Swp] ensures the power will be constant for the whole sweep.
