2. Measurement Parameter 2.1 Measurement Parameter Setup Settings Tap the Settings functional icon and the Settings screen will pop up. 2.2 Measurement Parameters OSNR 1. OFF: turn off OSNR measurement 2. 0.2nm/50GHz: OSNR is taken from the channel s peak (A), 0.2nm to the left (B), 0.2nm to the right (C), OSNR = (A-B)+(A-C) divided by 2. per IEC 61280-2-9 3. 0.4nm/100GHz: OSNR is taken from the channel s peak (A), 0.4nm to the left (B), 0.4nm to the right (C), OSNR = (A-B)+(A-C) divided by 2. per IEC 61280-2-9 4. User: similar to 2 above, the window s range is max 15nm. per IEC 61280-2-9 5. In-band 50GHz: In band OSNR measurement per ITU 50GHz channel table. Note, ITU Grid of 50GHz will be automatically selected. 6. In-band 100GHz: In band OSNR measurement per ITU 100GHz channel table. Note, ITU Grid of 100GHz will be automatically selected. Page 6 of 9
ITU Grid 1. OFF: ITU Grid type not selected. 2. 100GHz: 100GHz ITU Grid is selected. When selected, the OSA will measure the frequency and level of the channels detected and compare to the nearby ITU channels for the differences (delta). 3. 50GHz: Similar to above but ITU channel number will not be shown. Span Power 1. OFF: no span power measurement 2. Span: user programmable span width. The max span depends on the OSA in use; C, C+L or All band. 3. M1 <> M2: Span power between the Green and Blue markers. 4. Note: the Span power measurement measures Current, Min (if min hold is selected) and Max (if max hold is selected) Page 7 of 9
