Set the measurement mode (Simple, Detail, Multi WL).
The Multi WL option is not available on the AQ1200B
and AQ1200C.
Explanation
Simple Mode
In this mode, the absolute minimum amount of measurement conditions are set manually. You only
have to set the wavelength.
The following measurement conditions are set to the optimum values when measurement starts.
• Distance range
• Pulse width
• Event search
The measurement conditions that are available when the AQ1200 is in Simple (Full Auto) mode are
listed below. You can view these conditions in the measurement condition information (see section 5.1)
that is displayed on the screen.

For the procedures to set the Simple mode measurement conditions, see sections 3.2 to 3.4.
Detail Mode
In this mode, all measurement conditions are set manually.
For the procedures to set the Detail mode measurement conditions, see sections 3.5 and 3.6.
Multi WL Mode
You can perform consecutive measurements over multiple wavelengths.
Depending on the AQ1200 model, the wavelengths that can be measured and the number of
waveforms that can be displayed vary. (The maximum number of waveforms that can be displayed is
three.)
For the procedures to set the Multi WL mode measurement conditions, see sections 3.5 and 3.6.
