IM AQ6150B-02EN
Failure to comply with the precautions below could lead to injury
or death or damage to the instrument.
WARNING
Use the Instrument Only for Its Intended Purpose
This optical measuring instrument is designed to measure the optical characteristics of light
sources and evaluate their performance. Do not use this instrument for anything other than as
an optical measuring instrument.
Check the Physical Appearance
Do not use the instrument if there is a problem with its physical appearance.
Use the Correct Power Supply
Make sure that the power supply voltage matches the instrument’s rated supply voltage and
that it does not exceed the maximum voltage range of the power cord to use.
Use the Correct Power Cord and Plug
To prevent electric shock or fire, be sure to use the power cord for the instrument. The main
power plug must be plugged into an outlet with a protective earth terminal. Do not invalidate
this protection by using an extension cord without protective earth grounding. Further, do not
use this power cord with other instruments.
Connect the Protective Grounding Terminal
Make sure to connect the protective earth to prevent electric shock before turning on the
power. The power cord to use is a three-prong type power cord. Connect the power cord to a
properly grounded three-prong outlet.
Do Not Impair the Protective Grounding
Never cut off the internal or external protective earth wire or disconnect the wiring of the
protective earth terminal. Doing so may result in electric shock or damage to the instrument.
Do Not Use When the Protection Functions Are Defective
Before using this instrument, check that the protection functions, such as the protective
grounding and fuse, are working properly. If you suspect a defect, do not use the instrument.
Do Not Operate in an Explosive Atmosphere
Do not operate the instrument in the presence of flammable gasses or vapors. Doing so is
extremely dangerous.
Do Not Remove the Covers or Disassemble or Alter the Instrument
Only qualified YOKOGAWA personnel may remove the covers and disassemble or alter the
instrument. The inside of the instrument is dangerous because parts of it have high voltages.
Install or Use the Instrument in Appropriate Locations
• Do not install or use the instrument outdoors or in locations subject to rain or water.
• Install the instrument so that you can immediately remove the power cord if an abnormal or
dangerous condition occurs.

AVERTISSEMENT
Utiliser l’instrument aux seules fins pour lesquelles il est prévu
Cet instrument de mesure optique est prévu pour mesurer les caractéristiques optiques des
sources lumineuses et évaluer leur performance. Ne pas utiliser cet instrument à d’autres fins
que celles de mesure optique.
Inspecter l’apparence physique
Ne pas utiliser l’instrument si son intégrité physique semble être compromise.
Vérifier l’alimentation
Assurez-vous que la tension d’alimentation correspond à la tension d’alimentation nominale
de l’appareil et qu’elle ne dépasse pas la plage de tension maximale du cordon d’alimentation
à utiliser.
Utiliser le cordon d’alimentation et la fiche adaptés
Pour éviter tout risque de choc électrique, utiliser exclusivement le cordon d’alimentation
prévu pour cet instrument. La fiche doit être branchée sur une prise secteur raccordée à la
terre. En cas d’utilisation d’une rallonge, celleci doit être impérativement reliée à la terre. Par
ailleurs, ne pas utiliser ce cordon d’alimentation avec d’autres instruments.
Brancher la prise de terre
Avant de mettre l’instrument sous tension, penser à brancher la prise de terre pour éviter
tout choc électrique. Le cordon d’alimentation à utiliser est un cordon d’alimentation à trois
broches. Brancher le cordon d’alimentation sur une prise de courant à trois plots et mise à la
terre.
Safety Precautions

measurement is in progress. Measurement is repeated until you
press STOP.
Starts a single measurement. The key illuminates while the
measurement is in progress. Measurement automatically stops after
one measurement.
When the light source approaches its service life, the message “It is
about time to plan for REF LASER replacement" appears.
The operating time of the laser output has reached the replacement
reference time (30000 hours).
Measurement is possible, but replace the light source early.
If a malfunction occurs, the message “REF LASER or interferometer
is out of order. Please contact our sales representatives” appears.
Measurement is not possible.
For information on replacing the light source, contact your nearest

Peak window
Peak list window
A list of detected peaks
Power
The power the current peak
Power bar
The ratio of the power value
Peak value
Indicates that the current peak is the maximum (power)
Wavelength
The wavelength of the current peak
Current peak number/the number of
detected peaks
Indicates which peak among the
detected peaks is shown in the peak
window.
Example: 10th peak among the 32
peaks detected
Power bar
Ratio of the power of each peak relative to
the maximum measurable power
Power
The power of each peak
Wavelength
The wavelength of each peak
Number
Numbers automatically assigned to all detected peaks
Cursor display
Move the cursor to select the peak (current peak) to
show in the peak window.
Multi Peak Screen for Relative Values
The peak window is the same as in the multi peak screen for absolute values, which is shown above.
For the operating procedure, see section 4.3 in the User’s Manual, IM AQ6150B-01EN.
ΔPW
Power relative to the reference (REF) peak
ΔWL
Wavelength relative to the reference (REF) peak

Single Peak Screen
Only the peak window is displayed. The displayed contents and features are the same as those
of the multi peak screens.
For the operating procedure, see section 4.1 in the User’s Manual, IM AQ6150B-01EN.
Spectrum Window
For the operating procedure, see section 4.5 in the User’s Manual, IM AQ6150E-01EN.
Scale
Displays a power scale of
absolute values
Threshold
The peak detection threshold.
If the threshold is specified with a relative value, it is
converted to an absolute value and displayed.
Fixed marker ( )
A numbered marker that is automatically
assigned during peak detection
The maximum number is 1024.
Moving marker (▼)
This marker appears on the current peak.
The marker is filled with a color.
Overview window

Start wavelength of
the scale
The start wavelength
of the display range
Zoom
Appears when the spectrum is being zoomed in on
Center wavelength of the scale
The center wavelength of the display range
Wavelength per division
Stop wavelength of the scale
The stop wavelength of the display range
