Switching Modes While a Trace is Open

Switching Modes While a Trace is Open

If you switch test modes while a trace is already on-screen, the trace will
be loaded in the new selected mode and analyzed using the current
analysis setup, if the test modes are compatible.

WDM, Spectral Transmittance and EDFA test modes are made to ease the
switch between the modes. The table below indicates the equivalencies
between the trace types. For example, an active trace in WDM mode
becomes an output trace in EDFA mode, and vice-versa.
