you will be able to operate the light source display screen.
Set the wavelength
(GI 850nm, GI 1300nm, SM 1310nm, SM 1490nm, SM 1550nm, SM 1625nm, SM 1650nm).
Output wavelength
When you start a loss test, the instrument generates the specified wavelengths in order.
The current wavelength appears here.
Starts a loss test (OFF, ON)
A loss test starts when this is set to
ON. The loss test stops when this is
set to OFF. During a loss test,
wavelength 1 and wavelength 2 switch
alternately.
This is the same function as the Loss
Test START on the soft key Menu.
Optical power adjustment
Before a loss test, you can adjust the amplitude
of the optical output of the light source.
Adjusting the Optical Power
7.
Before starting the loss test, directly connect the OTDR port (PORT1) of the instrument (light
source side) to the OPM port with a short optical fiber cable.
