Dynamic Wavelength Repeatability
This section describes the analysis steps leading to wavelength
repeatability with reference to a single sweep speed.
Repeat them until all sweep speeds of interest are covered.
The only measurement results to be considered here are the results of the
threshold-crossing analysis in the continuous sweep measurements:
λ
LOGGED
(i, n) i = 1, 2, ... 60 x 2, n = 1, ... 5 (scan repetition)
The results from all the tested wavelength intervals should here be merged
in a single array, since the final results must hold for the specification of
the whole TLS wavelength range.
