Example 4. Measure WDM channel separation
This program measures the line separations on a WDM system. It measures separa-
tion (delta) between power and wavelength of each line using commands from the
CALCulate3 subsystem.
Refer to the introduction to this section for a description of each subroutine that is
contained in this program.
