Managing Drift Test Results

To view channel history results:

From the main window, select the

Channel History

tab.

Results for the following parameters related to the selected channel are
displayed in the

Channel History

table:

Spectral position (center of mass of wavelength or frequency) of the
channel against time (nm or THz)

Signal power of the channel against time (dBM)

OSNR of the channel against time (dB)

For each of the above parameters, the following results are displayed:

Reference

: indicates the channel reference values for the current drift

acquired during the initial acquisition.

Current Drift

: indicates the current drift values, that is, the current

deviation from the channel’s reference for the drift’s latest acquisition.

Maximum

: indicates the maximum values reached during the drift.

T Max.

: indicates the time of the drift at which the channel was at its

maximum value. Displayed time is relative to the time at the start of the
drift measurement.

Minimum

: indicates the minimum values reached during the drift.

T Min.

: indicates the time of the drift at which the channel was at its

minimum value. Displayed time is relative to the time at the start of the
drift measurement.
