5.4 Frequency Output

 

The instrument defaults to CW when it switches on.

 

When it is set to CW, there is no frequency on display.

 

Press the "CW/Hz" Key to select the output among 270Hz, 1kHz and 2kHz.

 „CW“ is not displayed on the LCD.

5.5 Auto-wavelength Recognition

 

Press the "TWIN" key to turn on and off the auto-wavelength recognition function.

Note:

1). It is suggested to turn off the "TWIN" code when you do not use it. The optical 
power output of the laser source will be fluctuated.

2). The function of "TWIN" and Modulation cannot work together. When the 
"TWIN" is on, the modulation of the laser source module is closed automatically.

3). The wavelength will be shifted automatically according to the recognition 
when the "TWIN" of the power meter module is on. The modulated signal of 
270Hz, 1kHz and 2kHz cannot be recognized and received.
