Example 1: Simple Application for Controlling the ODA
Agilent 86038A Optical Dispersion Analyzer, Third Edition
if (centerWavel < 0 || centerWavel > 1700){
MessageBox.Show("Center Wavelength out of range, defaulted
to 1550 nm");
centerWavel=1550;
txtCenter.Text = centerWavel.ToString();
}
// Convert center to start, stop
startWavel=odaClient.MeasurementRange.XStart;
stopWavel=odaClient.MeasurementRange.XStop;
oldSpan=stopWavel - startWavel;
// Write new start and stop
odaClient.MeasurementRange.XStart=centerWavel - oldSpan/2;
odaClient.MeasurementRange.XStop=centerWavel + oldSpan/2;
3 It works better if you first set the ODA to a relatively narrow sweep, such as 1530
to 1540 nm.
