                      ¦mu[1,avg] - mu[0,avg]¦, and Q
                      on chromatic dispersion and OSNR
Annex G (informative) Relationship between Q[avg] and Q
                      with PMD impairment

This part of IEC 61280 defines the averaged Q-factor and provides a procedure to measure it by using amplitude histogram parameters such as the standard deviation and average level.
