Instrument Memory Overview
Two-Way testers have various features for storing and recording test
data or user settings in non-volatile memory
Save & Store Test Results
The non-volatile user memory stores test data, which can then be
displayed or downloaded to a spreadsheet in the KIT
S™ software
or
saved to a USB stick. Addition of a USB stick give effectively infinite
memory in practical field situations.
Data stored in Power Meter and Autotest mode, for example:
•
Measured optical power in dBm, W, dB R
•
Reference value, dBm
•
Detected
λ
, nm
•
Test time and date
•
Autotest nominal source power
•
Autotest relative mode references
•
Text ID Tag
•
Remote instrument serial number
•
Pass / fail status
Text ID Tag
Up to 20 pre-set text identifiers can be stored for later use, to help
manage & identify stored test data per project etc. See Text ID Tag
section for more details.
Meter Display Hold
To hold the display at its current value, press [Hold], then store the
measurement. To continue display update, press [Hold] again.
Automatic MAX / MIN Recording
In manual power meter mode, the maximum and minimum power
meter values are continuously recorded in real time. To display or hide
minimum and maximum recorded values, press
-
and
+
simultaneously.
User Setting Retention
Some convenient user settings are stored at instrument turn-off and
restored when the instrument is turned back on.
Time and Date
Test time and date is recorded in memory; However, the current
instrument time and date is volatile if batteries are removed for some
time, or they go flat. See section SETTING DATE AND TIME
Instrument Sanitizing
All user data and retained settings can be removed, and the
instrument fully restored to an (anonymous) original state.
