Configuring Measurement Settings
Configuring Measurement Settings
If you are planning to repeat similar measurements, you can configure the
settings for each individual head, and save them to the instrument. The saved
settings become the default configuration for that channel, and are displayed
every time the channel is opened.

settings become the default configuration for that channel, and are displayed
every time the channel is opened.
The following sections describe how to configure measurement settings for
photodiode heads and how to save them as the default configuration for that
channel. Configuration settings include: configuring laser wavelengths, range,
average readings, and inserting/removing the filter.

Configuring Laser Wavelengths
Photodiode heads have a different sensitivity at different wavelengths. Moreover,
the filters used in the head have a different transmission at different wavelengths.
When you choose the correct laser wavelength, the correction factor for that
wavelength is automatically introduced.

You can select which laser wavelength to work with from an editable drop down
list. You can configure a maximum of six wavelengths to appear in the drop
down list, to simplify changing from one laser wavelength to another. Laser
wavelengths can also be modified or removed.

To select the laser wavelength:
1. Select the laser wavelength from the Wavelength drop down list in the
Measurement Parameters Area.

To add a laser wavelength:
1. Select Add from the Wavelength drop down list in the Measurement
Parameters Area. The Set Favorite Wavelength dialog box appears.
Note: Add is only available if less than 6 wavelengths are listed in the
Wavelength drop down list.
