Setting Up Drift Analysis Parameters

Channel distance (nm or GHz): distance between the channels.
The value of channel distance will be set depending on the
selection made for the channel center wavelength option. The
channel distance box will be enabled only when the channel
center wavelength option is set to custom.

Channel width (nm or GHz): limit inside which the power values
will be considered in the channel. Integrated power is calculated
on channel width.

Starting Value: increment starting value for the channel name in
the channel list.

Increment value: increment value for the channel name in the
channel list.

5. Press OK to return to the Channels window, which now lists the added

channels.

Note: When new channels are added, the Use Default thresholds will be applied

to the channel parameters.

Note: A warning message will be displayed if any channels are overlapping, but

the analysis can still be performed on overlapping channels. If any
duplicate channels are added, a confirmation message will be displayed to
overwrite the existing channels with the duplicate channels.

6. Press OK to save the changes and close the window, or press Cancel to

exit without saving.

Note: The application displays a message if more than 1000 channels are added.

You can exit the Analysis Setup window only after deleting the extra
channels from the channel list. You can delete the channels manually as
required.
