4 Set the Time Steps to 2400.
5 Set the Time Sampling Interval at 4.

Note: This is the time domain data sampling rate for spectrum analysis.

6 Click the “Spectrum” button to set the spectrum range (refer to Figure 5)

•     Set “Number of Samples” to 81,

•     Uncheck the “Auto” checkbox,

•     Check the “Use Wavelength” radio button

•     Set Start wavelength as 1.35um

•     Set end wavelength as 1.75um

•     and press Ok button to accept changes
