Normalization Process
• Select DUT configuration and input ports.
• Choose which attributes to measure. Select stepped or swept mode.
• Enable the Length measurement if needed
• Set the measurement wavelength range.
• Set the normalization wavelength range (if different from the measurement
range).
• Set the Sensitivity, Resolution, and Dynamic Drift Reduction.
• Begin the Normalization
Measurement Process
