Step 2:

 Formula and Example are as follow:

Formula:
The current value (in dBm) –REF = the current value (in dB) 
Example:
REF= –46.97dBm, the current value (in dB)= –13.79 
Then the current value (in dBm) = (–46.97dBm) + (–13.79dB) 
= –60.76dBm 
             

Switch power measure of three types to power value. 

Press “dBm/W” button to switch power measure (dB, dBm, 
or Watt)

Change wavelength

Press “button” to change wavelength at 850nm, 1300nm, 
1310nm, 1490nm, 1550nm and 1625nm.

Reference value setting 

Press “dBm/W” button for a few seconds to set the current 
power values as power reference value (in dBm measure)
