KI7000C Series instruments provide several options for storing and
recording data:
•
Meter Reference Value
The power meter reference value for each wavelength is stored in
non-volatile memory. It is displayed on the left of the display when in
relative mode.
•
Meter Display Hold
To hold the display at its current value, press [HOLD]. To continue
updating the display, press [Hold] again.
•
Automatic MAX / MIN Recording
To display the minimum and maximum recorded power meter over a
period, press [
] and [Max/Min] on hidden keypad. The display will
show the maximum and minimum values in sequence. To re-set,
press [
], [Max/Min] and hold for 3 seconds. This function also re-
sets when instrument parameters are altered.
Note: This function records drift, but may not be suitable to record
transients faster than 1 Hz, due to the integrating data converter.
User Memory
The non-volatile user memory stores test data, which can then be
displayed or downloaded to the spreadsheet in the KITS™ software.
Overview of stored data:
Data stored in Autotest mode - One Way loss testing:
•
light source serial number, nominal output power, dBm and
operational wavelengths, nm
•
measured optical power in dBm, dB R and power meter
reference value, dBm
Data stored in Power meter mode:
•
measured optical power in dBm, dB R and power meter
reference value, dBm
•
detected wavelength, nm
Data stored in Light source mode:
•
nominal output power, dBm
•
operational wavelength, nm
In KI7300C/7700C/7600C Series instruments, the following functions
