Setting the Wavelength Sweep
There are ve parameters for the wavelength sweep,
start , the wavelength with which the sweep begins
,
stop , the wavelength at which the sweep ends,
step , the size of the change in wavelength for each step,
dwell , the amount of time spent at the wavelength during each step, and
cycles , the number of times the sweep is repeated.

5 . Only three of the parameters can be displayed at a time, you scroll the
other parameters onto the display.
See \Changing the Value of a Parameter" in Chapter 1 if you need details on
how to edit parameters.
Setting the Maximum Power for the Sweep Range
NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN
Pmax ! P sets the power to the maximum for the selected sweep range.
Alternatively, you can set a power level in the way described in \Setting the
Power".
