  • Page 46 4 Making Measurements For the tracking filter settings, you can use the following rules of thumb: Use the tracking filter to improve the signal noise if the optical signal is • weak. If you have a good optical signal, it is not possible for the tracking filter to improve the signal-to-noise ratio for physical reasons.
