Preparing the Test Setup
To set the test parameters:
1. Ensure that the IQS-12004B Setup window is open. For more
information on selecting a step, see Accessing a Specific Test Step on
page 34.
2. From the Test Type group box, select Generic or Specified test.
3. From the Scan Parameters group box, specify the required
parameters.
3a. Indicate the number of power meter channels to use by typing the
value in the Channel(s) entry box.
3b. Specify the wavelength range (in nanometers) that will be used
for the analysis in the Analysis from X nm to Y nm entry boxes.
Note: Setting a smaller scan range will reduce the database size, the time
required for the analysis and for the scan.
3c. Select the scan resolution value (in picometers) from the
Resolution list.
Note: Resolution cannot be set to 5 pm when using the IQS-2600B source.

When testing “specified” devices, changing the wavelength range
parameter will override the parameter stored in the DUT database.
