Model 428 User’s Manual REMOTE USER INTERFACE
Bristol Instruments, Inc. 26
Spectrum/Wavelength Tabs
Allows the user to toggle between the Spectrum Screen and a Wavelength
Screen that displays the wavelength and power of the highest intensity channel,
a user selected channel, or the averaged power density of all channels
measured.
Spectrum Display
Displays the measured spectrum of the optical input signal. The spectrum can be
displayed in units of nm, μm, GHz, THz or cm
-1
. Intensity can be displayed in
units of dB or mW.
Single Scan
Starts a single measurement, displays the spectrum, and reports quantitative
data in the Markers Table. Once the application is connected to the instrument,
the Optical Channels Table will update continuously until the connection is
terminated.
Continuous Scan
Starts or stops continuous spectral measurements, and continuously updates the
quantitative data in the Markers Table. Once the application is connected to the
instrument, the Optical Channels Table will update continuously until the
connection is terminated.
Spectral Thumbnail
Shows a small representation of the entire measured spectrum, and highlights
the portion that is currently displayed in the Spectrum Display.
Optical Channels Table
Displays the wavelength, power and optical signal-to-noise ratio for each optical
channel reported by the 428 system. Once the application is connected to the
instrument, the Optical Channels Table will update continuously until the
connection is terminated
Markers Table
Reports the position, position delta, intensity, and intensity Delta for two user
positionable Markers.
Display Expand/Collapse
The Spectrum Display can be expanded or collapsed using the Display
Expand/Collapse button. When expanded, the Spectrum Display hides the
Optical Channels and Markers Tables.
Status Bar
Shows the status of the Logging function (on/off).
Function Descriptions
Single Scan
Selecting the Single Scan button (left) initiates a single spectral measurement.
During the measurement, the Single Scan button changes its appearance to its
greyed-out inactive state (right). After the measurement, the Spectrum Display
and Markers Table are updated. The Optical Channels Table continuously
updates when the NuView Display Software is connected to the 428 system.
