Setting Analysis Parameters
The OSNR (WDM) analysis function parameters may be broadly divided into the
following three configurations.
Parameter settings may be changed as desired according to the details of the particular
analysis.
• Parameters related to channel detection (CHANNEL DETECTION SETTING)
• Parameters related to noise level measurement (INTERPOLATION SETTING)
• Parameters related to analysis results display method (DISPLAY SETTING)
These are explained below. See appendix 4, “OSNR (WDM) analysis Function” for a
description of the parameters.
