The easiest way to set up the instrument, especially when the operator
does not know in advance what to expect at the input of the OSA is to
use the Discover button. After Discover button has been pressed, a
measurement and analysis will be performed according to the best
setup determined by the instrument and this setup will be used for the
next scan. This is explained in Using the Discover Feature on page 269.

³

The most efficient way to setup the instrument is to use one of the
favorites configurations, uploading a pre-customized acquisition and
analysis setup configuration. The operator in the field only has to press
the star button, select the appropriate configuration and press Start. As
an example, a pre-customized configuration could be: “32 channels
DWDM 50GHz”; “Toronto-Montreal CWDM” or “Vendor ABC DWDM
ROADM 40Gb”. This is explained in Managing Favorites on page 147.
