Specifications and Regulatory Information
Specifications—NORMAL Update Mode
Specifications—NORMAL Update Mode
Each laser line is assumed to have a linewidth (including modulation side-
bands) of less than 5 GHz.
All specifications apply when the instrument is in the following modes:
• NORMAL update mode unless noted. Refer to “Measurement rate” on
page 2-13.
• Configured to measure narrowband devices. Specifications do not apply
when the instrument is configured to measure broadband devices. Refer
to “Measuring broadband devices and chirped lasers” on page 2-9.
