5.5.5 Procedures
To measure WDM
1. When the name of the
F7
horizontal key is not
Application
, press
F8
,
and then press
F7
.
2. Press
f5 WDM Test
to display the measurement result display field.
3. Input the optical signal.
4. Set the wavelength, resolution, and level scale.
5. Press
Single
to start the measurement.
6. Press
f3 Display Mode
.
7. Set the display method using
f1
to
f4
.
8. Press
f4 Signal Parameter
.
9. Set the following items in the dialog box:
S.Level: A range of 0.1 to 50.0 dB can be input.
Search Threshold: A range of 0.01 to 10.0 dB can be input.
Wavelength-Detection Type: When Threshold is set, Threshold Cut
Level is used to detect wavelength. Input the Threshold Cut Level in
the range of 0.1 to 50 dB.
Level-Detection Type: When ΣPower is set, Signal Span is used to
calculate power. Input Signal Span in the range of 0.01 to 50.00 nm.
10. Press
