Select the channel number you want to use for the measurement using the dropdown list labeled “Select Channel” (Figure 3.9). “Ch n” denotes channel n where n = 1, 2, ... [[NeoScan]] Optical Bench Manager program opens up with the “Ch 1” as the default working channel.

If the polarization is maintained, the total return power and the polarization power will lie within the specified optimized range (the default value is ±20%). In this case, “Optimization Indicator LED” becomes green. Otherwise, it start blinking and the information panel indicates: “Polarization is not maintained: Optimization is required.” A user can change the threshold from the box labeled “Auto Trigger Margin” (see Figures 3.7 and 3.8). If the power difference is greater than 20%, the polarization state is found not to be maintained, therefore, the user will be prompted with a dialog window giving an opportunity to initiates the optimization process or skip the optimization by choosing “No.”
