Dynamic Range
Near the wavelengths of input lights, the detectable level is limited by the
effect of the lights. Dynamic range is the ratio between the maximum
level of this input optical spectrum and the detectable optical level. Figure
1.3-4 shows the definition of dynamic range.

Waveform Analysis
This is a function for analyzing and displaying measured waveform data.
The center wavelength and spectrum half width measurement are given
as an example of waveform analysis. Refer to 4.5 “Analyzing Waveform”
for an explanation of this measurement analysis function.
Waveform Calculation
This is a function for calculating between two waveforms. It is used to
measure loss characteristics of optical parts. Refer to 4.6 “Changing
Waveform Memory Settings and Calculation between Memories” for an
explanation of this function.
