Reset reference wavelength
In a similar way to the Zero balance, it is also possible to reset the reference
wavelength to the value being measured at the moment.
► Right click on the line to reset and select
Reset reference wavelength
option (number
2
in
).
This changes the reference wavelength value against which all wavelength
measurements are compared (check subsection “Reference Wavelength” in
chapter 3.5.1.3 “Wavelength”, page 28
for more details) on the device channel
configuration.
Important
While resetting reference wavelength might be a very handy tool for relative
sensor measurements such as strain or acceleration, it will compromise abso
lute and calibrated measurements such as temperature that rely on the refer
ence wavelength as stated on the calibration sheet for an accurate measure
ment. Always take extra care upon resetting reference wavelength values.
