This is the PMDC data stored at memory location (MEM-Lo) 18. The top
line of the screen shows the stored DOP measured by the input (I) and
output (O) polarimeters, and the bottom line shows the PMD index
number (ID#) used for the PMD compensation.
To look at data stored in a different memory location, use the arrow keys
to select the desired memory location index (range 0-99). The DOP values
and PMD index will change in real time to the values stored at the selected
memory location.
Pressing ENTER from a recalled PMDC result screen will begin a new
selected DGD or PMD compensation run using the PMD or DGD value
from the recalled data set.
