which you want to define the delta value.
Only the combinations of wavelengths your module can support
will be available.
For more significant results, EXFO recommends to always select
the combination of wavelengths including the smallest possible
wavelength and the greatest wavelength (for example, if your
module supports 1310 nm, 1550 nm, and 1625 nm, you would
select the 1310 nm/1625 nm combination).
3b.
In the
Delta (loss)
box, enter the desired value.
3c.
Repeat steps 3a and 3b for all combinations of wavelengths.
To revert to default settings:
1.
Press
Default

2.
When the application prompts you, answer
Yes
if you want to apply the
settings to all combinations of wavelengths.
