Wavenumber Mode)

Procedure

You can measure the center wavelength, level, and SNR of each channel from the

measured waveform of a WDM transmission signal. (Except Wavenumber Mode)

Press

ANALYSIS

. The soft key menu for analyzing measured waveforms

appears.

Press the

ANALYSIS 2

soft key. The analysis function selection menu is

displayed.

Press the
