Measurement rate
Under normal operation, the Agilent 86120B makes a measurement and dis-
plays the results about once every second. It is in this normal update mode
that maximum accuracy and wavelength resolution are achieved. However,
should a faster update be desired, for example when real-time feedback is
required to tune a laser to its designated channel, the Agilent 86120B can be
set to update approximately three times per second. This reduces both wave-
length resolution and accuracy but can be beneficial in some applications.
When FAST update is selected, one less digit of resolution is displayed. Also, if
multiple wavelengths are present, these individual responses, with the
reduced resolution, may no longer be recognized.
To change the measurement speed
1 Press the Setup key.
2 Press the MORE softkey.
3 Press the UPDATE softkey.
4 Select either NORMAL or FAST .
