3.4 Measurement Types
There are three kinds of the measurement methods.
Automatic measurement
Automatically sets wavelength, resolution and level and performs
measurement
Single measurement
Sweeps waveform once
When the trace Storage Mode is set to Sweep Average, Min Hold, or Max
Hold, waveform sweeping is performed for the number of times set at
Sweep Average.
Repeat measurement
Waveform sweeping is repeated until the
Stop
is pressed.
Perform the automatic measurement:
Press
Auto Measure
to perform automatic measurement.
The following processes are performed during automatic measurement:
●
Peak wavelength, peak level and spectrum half-width of optical input
detected
●
Wavelength range and resolution adjusted
●
Level scale adjusted and results displayed
Note:
The automatic measurement may not be performed correctly in the
following cases.
●
The peak level of the input light is too low.
●
The level or wavelength of the input light is unstable.
Perform the single measurement:
Press
Single
to perform the single measurement.
Perform the repeat measurement;
Press
Repeat
to perform the repeat measurement.
Stop the measurement:
Press
Stop
to stop the measurement.
