The table of wavelength-dependent offsets
When enabled, the attenuator uses its
λ offset table to compensate for
wavelength dependent losses in the test set-up. This table contains, for
each wavelength specified, the additional power offset to be applied.
each wavelength specified, the additional power offset to be applied.
• If the attenuator module is set to a wavelength corresponding to an entry in its
λ offset table, the stored offset is added to the global power offset.
• If the attenuator module is set to a wavelength between entries in its
λ offset
table, linear interpolation is used to calculate the appropriate offset to add to the
global power offset.
global power offset.
• If the attenuator module is set to a wavelength beyond the range of the entries
in its
λ offset table, the offset stored for the nearest wavelength is added to the
global power offset.
• Whether an exact, interpolated, or extrapolated offset value is applied, the algo-
rithm applied can be queried using “:STATusn:OPERation:CONDition?” on
