Detailed Setup Screen
Press the
SETUP
soft key and then the
Save Data
soft key to display the following screen.
Set the starting core number (1 to 9900).
Set the number of fibers or tapes (up to 100 fibers when
Tape no. Type is set to Off, up to 50 tapes when Tape no.
Type is set to a-b(2), ..., up to 12 tapes when Tape no. Type
is set to a-h(8)).
Set the tape number type (Off, a-b(2), a-c(3), a-d(4), a-e(5),
a-f(6), a-g(7), a-h(8)).
Saving Data to a File

section 16.2 to save the data.
Explanation
This feature is available on models with the /SLT or /HLT option.
You can use the AQ1200 as a light source and as an optical power meter to perform loss testing for up
to three wavelengths on an optical fiber or line.

For information about the unit, reference, offset, threshold values, and the holding of the display of
measured values, see “Explanation” in section 10.2.
Light Source
Measurement Light Wavelength
The following measurement light wavelengths can be generated.
Model
Measurement Light Wavelength
AQ1200A
SM 1310 nm, SM 1550 nm
The light for a single mode (SM) optical fiber is emitted from optical port 2. Firmly connect the optical
fiber to the port that the light will be transmitted from.
Executing an Auto Loss Test
To perform loss testing, configure the settings for the optical power meter and the light source, connect
one end of the optical fiber or line that you need to perform loss testing on to the optical power
measurement port of the power meter, and connect the other end to the light source port of the light
source.
The optical power meter measures the power of the light that passes through the optical fiber or line
under loss test.
