WaveShaper 100S Tunable Optical Filter WaveManager 2.5 Application Software Package Fourier Processor: An Optical FPGA WaveSketch: Drag-and-Drop control of filter shapes Hints and Tips: Using the WaveShaper Application Programming Interface
Welcome to the second edition of Finisar Instrumentation News a regular publication that aims to keep you up to date with all things WaveShaper-related. This newsletter showcases the upgraded WaveShaper 100S Tunable Optical Filter and introduces the new WaveManager 2.5 software package. This package includes a number of enhancements which will be of interest to most users of WaveShaper instruments. For example the new WaveSketch software allows creating and shaping your optical filters just by drag-and-drop using your computer's mouse!

Optical transfer function of a DQPSK demodulator generated in a WaveShaper 4000S using the Fourier Processor software
WAVESKETCH
WaveSketch is an exciting new capability which enables users of the WaveShaper 1000 and 4000 to manually create filter shapes using a drag and drop graphical interface. As the filter curve is manipulated on the screen, the WaveShaper transfer function is updated in real time thus allowing, for example, continuous adjustments to eliminate drift in system test applications The figure on the right shows a WaveSketch screenshot in which defined points can be added, deleted or modified as required. The filter shapes generated in WaveSketch can be saved in the WaveShaper *.wsp format and then re-used in either WaveSketch or WaveManager. WaveSketch supports all versions of the WaveShaper 1000 and 4000 and users of these instruments can access WaveSketch simply by upgrading to WaveManager 2.5.
