This is the calculation screen. To select a DGD/SOPMD pair to be
matched and stored, use the left and right arrow keys to move the cursor to
the DGD and SOPMD positions, and the up and down arrows to change
the values. As soon as one of the values is changed, the screen changes to
edit mode:
After editing the DGD and SOPMD values, press the ENTER key. The
PMDPro returns to the calculation screen and shows the calculated values
that most closely match the requested ones:
If the calculated values are acceptable, move the cursor to the Loc position,
set the desired memory location, and press ENTER. The PMDPro will
store the current set of DGD/SOPMD values to the selected memory
location and increment the memory location by 1.

PMDC RESULT:
This option allows the user to store PMD compensation data from any of
the PMDPro’s PMD compensation functions. After obtaining the PMDC
result, press the STORE button and select the PMDC STORE RESULT
option. The top line of the screen will display the DOP measured by the
input (I) and output (O) polarimeters at the end of the last PMD
compensation run. The bottom line will display the PMD index number
(ID#) used for the PMD compensation and the current memory location
(MEM-Lo).
Use the arrow keys to select the desired memory location index (range 0-
99) and press ENTER to store the data at that location. After the data is
stored, the display will return to the PMDC mode selection screen.
