Power Meter Applications
Power Meter Applications
This chapter explains how to set up and perform the following
applications using the N7744/5/7/8A Optical Multiport Power Meter.
• The Logging application logs power measurements. The Logging
application performs measurements consecutively without the
possibility of any pause between measurements.
• The Stability application logs power measurements. The Stability
application differs from the Logging application because:
– the period time, the time it takes from the start of one
measurement period until another measurement period starts,
may be greater than or equal to the averaging time.
These applications can be accessed with programming commands as
described in the Programming Guide.
