Setting a Delay for the Sweep
Setting a Delay for the Sweep
A delay at the beginning of a sweep can allow you to coordinate more than
one unit.
To set the delay:
1. Select the Settings function tab.
2. In the Sweep tab, enter the desired time in the Delay box in 99:59:59
format.
If you set the delay to 00:00:00, the sweep will begin immediately upon
clicking Start in the Instrument function tab.
Selecting the Sweep Mode
You can select the sweep mode you want to perform in the Settings
function tab. The source will use either the Continuous or Stepped mode.
Using the Continuous Mode
To select the Continuous sweep mode, click the appropriate button in the
Sweep tab of the Settings function tab.
You can now select the speed for the sweep by entering a value in the box
(minimum of 10 nm/s and maximum of 50 nm/s).
Note: You cannot edit the duration of the scan. It will be automatically calculated
according to the speed and wavelength range.
