Using the Offset Function

Using the Offset Function

The offset function is used when you want to take into account, in the
power displayed, a known gain or loss in the link that is not already
included in the signal reaching the detector. Contrary to the correction
factor, which applies to a specific wavelength, the offset value applies to
any wavelength when it is enabled in a specific channel.

To enter an offset value:
1.
From the Settings function tab, select the Channels tab.

2. Select the channel for which you want to set the offset if you are using

a multichannel power meter.

3. From the Offset list, use the arrow buttons to adjust the value.

4. Click Apply to confirm your new setting.
