Selectable wavelength spans from 70 nm (maximum) to approximately 0.1 nm (minimum).

High-speed measurement

Measurement time Approx. 6.7 ms (per measurement point) Approx. www.cniacs.com 4 seconds (within the specified span) The interval between scans (measurement time) is approx. 4 seconds.

This means that the Q7750 can complete a measurement in 4 seconds, whereas the previous measurement process took several tens of seconds.

If the measurement time is too long, accurate results may not be obtained because the characteristics of the device under test may change due to environmental conditions such as temperature.

The Q7750 completes measurements in a short period of time, ensuring high-speed, accurate measurements that are unaffected by the temperature characteristics of the device under test.
