Graph tab with information along the following axis values:

X axis: wavelength in nm or frequency in THz
³
Y axis: optical power expressed in dBm, as measured in the optical
resolution bandwidth (RBW) of the OSA. This reference RBW is shown
at the bottom right of the graph.
If the current trace was previously saved, the graph will display the file
name of the current trace in the title bar.
The graph will display peak indicators for all the channels found by the
