Using the Multi-Wavelength Meter
Changing the Units and Measurement Rate
Continuous or single measurements
The Agilent 86120B continuously measures the input spectrum at the front-panel
OPTICAL INPUT connector. Whenever measurements are being acquired, an aster-
isk (*) is displayed in the display’s upper right corner. When you switch between
normal and fast update modes the rate that the asterisk blinks changes.
You can specify that the instrument perform a measurement only when the front-
panel Single key is pressed. This is the single-acquisition measurement mode, and it
is useful for capturing and preserving data. After capturing the data, you can display
it using many of the procedures included in this chapter. You can return to continu-
ous measurement mode at any time by pressing the Cont key.
To select single measurement acquisition
• Press the Single key.
