The displayed trace is a history of the modulation phase over the selected time
period (sweep time).
13 Press SCALE/REF, and enter a value in degrees that is equal to the fiber-optic
cable's index of refraction. For example, if the index of refraction is 1.45, enter
1.45°. Now, each vertical division corresponds to 1 mm of drift in the length of
the cable.
If you set the Scale/Div to 0.36 degrees, each vertical division corresponds to
1 ps of drift in the group delay.
14 You can save this setup, so it is available when making length stability
measurements in the future.
a Press SAVE and then SAVE REG#.
b Press SAVE and then TITLE REGISTER#.
c Enter a title and then press DONE and then RETURN.
