OPM MODE
– Optical power is an absolute measurement of the amount of light intensity; i.e. “brightness”, and can be measured
either at the output of a transmitter (transmit power), or at the input of a receiver (receiver sensitivity). When in OPM (optical power
meter) mode, Fiber OWL 7 certifiers can be directly attached to this equipment via a patch cord to check whether the transmitter is
within the manufacturer’s specified power range.
OPM MODE can be performed with all models of
FIBER OWL 7 optical power meter
.
