  • comparison with memory contents
  • display of two separate diagrams (split screen)
  • signal analysis for up to 256 DWDM channels
  • automatic OSNR and NF calculation functions
  • min/max Hold function
  • wavelengths and level trend function
  • use of several markers
  • 34 trace display
  • normalization and direct readout of transmission or loss as well
  • various automatic spectral width analysis functions
  • curve fitting
  • memory for 15 traces/settings
  • GPIB/printer/Bitmap/VGA interfaces
