Favorite Wavelength: 

 

  If already entered into the XR2100, the favorite wavelengths will self-populate.  

  Type in favorite wavelengths in each box, (will reflect in the power meter display). 

  To clear individual favorites 

enter ‘

0

’ into each box, or clear all favorite 

wavelengths from the 

‘Power Meter’

 pull-down menu. 

  Wavelength range: 320nm to 750nm. 

 

8.5  Status Data 

 
 

 

 
 

  This window will self-populate once the XR2100 is connected. 

 

Note: 

S/N

 = the XR2100 serial number 

 
 
Items That Can Be Changed By Operator; 

LCD Contrast: 

Can be set between 1-15 (boldest LCD contrast to dimmest). Constantly 
operating on the highest LCD contrast will shorten battery life. 

 
Log during CAL: 

Saves values to data log during a calibration. 

Disable Rel Abs: 

Locks the “Relative/Absolute” button on the XR2100. XR2100 stays in current 
display mode.
