ClearPDA Method
ClearInputPolarizerAngle Method
PDAEnabled Property
250
Clears the current phase dynamic accuracy data. This is
automatically done when a normalization is performed with
PDAEnabled set to True.
VB.NET Syntax
pdlaClient.NormalizationRange.ClearPDA()
VB 6.0 Syntax
pdlaClient.NormalizationRange.ClearPDA
Clears the current setting of the input polarizer. Use this to
force a new input polarizer optimization with the next
normalization measurement. After clearing the input polarizer
angle, no measurements can be made until an input polarizer
optimization is performed.
VB.NET Syntax
pdlaClient.NormalizationRange.ClearInputPolarizerAngle()
VB 6.0 Syntax
pdlaClient.NormalizationRange.ClearInputPolarizerAngle
Phase dynamic accuracy corrects for amplitude-to-phase
conversion effects in the instrument receiver. If your test device
exhibits no loss variation across the wavelength range, then
disable this function to speed up the normalization time. You
can read or set the value.
Property Value
Boolean - True if PDA is enabled.
VB.NET Syntax
pdlaClient.NormalizationRange.PDAEnabled = True
