Explanation

Zoom Center Wavelength

The setting range is 350.000 to 1200.000 nm. 
If you press the COARSE key you can use the rotary knob or arrow keys to change the 
numerical value in 1 nm steps. The value changes in 0.1 nm steps if you do not press the 
COARSE key. 

Wavelength Display Sweep Width

The setting range is 0.1 to 850.0 nm. 
If you press the COARSE key you can use the rotary knob or arrow keys to change the 
numerical value in 1-2-5 steps. The value changes in 1 nm steps if you do not press the 
COARSE key. 

Zoom Start Wavelength

The setting range is 1.000 to 1199.950 nm. 
If you press the COARSE key you can use the rotary knob or arrow keys to change the 
numerical value in 1 nm steps. If you do not press it, the value changes in 0.1 nm steps. 

Zoom Stop Wavelength

The setting range is 350.050 to 1625.000 nm. 
The value changes in 1 nm steps if you press the COARSE key. If you do not press it, 
the value changes in 0.1 nm steps. 

 

 

Zoom stop wavelength

Zoom start wavelength

Waveform display sweep width

Zoom center wavelength

Note

•  Changing the zoom center wavelength changes the zoom start wavelength and zoom stop 

wavelength. The waveform display sweep width does not change.

•  Changing the wavelength display sweep width changes the zoom start wavelength and 

zoom stop wavelength. The zoom center wavelength does not change.

•  When the zoom start or stop wavelength is set, one wavelength becomes fixed, and this 

changes the value of the wavelength display sweep width. In addition, the zoom center 
wavelength value is also changed at the same time.
