Note
When the optical spectrum analyzer is first turned on, the wavelength range is set to the
full 1100 nm span (600 nm to 1700 nm). Sweeps begin at the shortest wavelength (start)
and end at the longest wavelength (stop). You can set the center, stop, start, and span
wavelength values. The span is set symmetrically about the center wavelength.
