Relative wavelength accuracy (continuous 
sweep mode)
When measuring the differences between the actual and “Logged 
wavelength” in “Continuous sweep mode”, the dynamic wavelength 
accuracy is ± half the span between the maximum and the minimum value 
of all differences.
Figure 14 Relative wavelength accuracy (continuous sweep mode).
Conditions: As specified. No mode-hop.
Relative wavelength accuracy (stepped 
mode)
When randomly changing the wavelength and measuring the differences 
between the displayed and the actual wavelength, the relative wavelength 
accuracy is ± half the span between the maximum and the minimum value 
of all differences.
