MEASURING ONE WAY LOSS IN AUTOTEST
KI7000 UM-5
-
17 -
This method is applicable for loss measurements in the set up where
data communication is one way only. Testing on one fiber can be
achieved with:
•
single Loss Test set
•
Light Source and Power Meter
Alternatively, two Loss Test Sets used for simultaneous loss testing
on two fibers will ensure higher productivity.
After instruments have been referenced:
•
connect the device under test (DUT) to the Light Source and
Power Meter
•
press [Autotest]
Power Meter will now display insertion loss in dB R at all available
source wavelengths.
Simultaneous loss measurements on two fibers.
Two Loss Test Sets will support simultaneous loss testing on two
fibers in the set up as below:
Figure 3. Set up for simultaneous loss testing on two fibers
Note: the results will be stored on both instruments and then merged
later, so records management needs extra care.
