** referred to 850 nm
*** The integrated input noise is measured with a shaded input in the full bandwidth (“FBW”) setting (referred to 850 nm).
The input referred peak-peak noise can be calculated from the RMS noise as follows: P Input noise peak-to-peak = P Input noise RMS x 6
The output noise is given by:
U Output noise RMS = P Input noise RMS x gain
U Output noise peak-to-peak = U Output noise RMS x 6 = PInput noise RMS x gain x 6
The integrated noise will be reduced considerably by setting the low pass filter to “10 Hz”
instead of “FBW”. This is especially useful for continuous wave (CW) measurements.

Remote Control Operation
General
Remote control input bits are opto-isolated and connected by a logical OR function to the local switch settings. For remote control set the corresponding local switches to “Remote”, “AC” and “H” and select the desired setting via a bit code at the corresponding digital inputs. Mixed operation, e.g. local AC/DC setting and remote controlled gain setting, is also possible. The switch setting “FBW / 10 Hz” of the low pass signal filter is not remote controllable.
