Operating Your Chromatic Dispersion Analyzer

Applying a Chromatic Dispersion Reference

Chromatic dispersion references can be taken after the results have been

acquired. This is useful if you did not have a source and patchcords at hand

before performing acquisitions (source and Chromatic Dispersion Analyzer

can be many kilometers apart).

Once your reference is taken, you can apply it to your results. The

patchcord and analyzer dispersion will be substracted from your results.

For more information on references and their importance, see Performing

Reference Measurements on page 28.

To apply a chromatic dispersion reference to your results:

1. On the Acquisitions tab, select any line.

2. Click the Apply Current Reference button.

IMPORTANT

The reference will be applied to the entire file, not only to the

specific acquisition that is selected.
