AUTOTEST OVERVIEW
Autotest mode is used to perform automated loss testing at all source
wavelengths:
•
bi-directional loss testing with average loss displayed in real
time and pass/ fail test function, requires two matching
instruments.
•
single direction loss testing, can be achieved with a single
instrument or two instruments as a combination of light source
and power meter. Alternatively, two loss test sets are typically
used for simultaneous measurements on two fibers.
Autotest remains synchronised for about 8 seconds after
disconnection, so the user can change optical connections without re-
starting Autotest each time thus achieving productivity gains. Autotest
reduces source warm up drift and battery consumption compared to
manual operation.
For the KI7340C Series instruments, ORL testing is tightly integrated;
ORL Zero Function and User Calibration Mode (UCAL) can be set in
Autotest mode.
To realise the full benefit of Autotest, please
use the KITS™ software
to achieve real-time data acquisition to facilitate acceptance testing
and reporting in the field. Free KITS
™
software available on our
website includes a comprehensive on-line manual with full operating
sequences.
Instruments compatibility
Any Kingfisher equipment featuring Autotest is compatible, e.g. any
Autotest source / loss test set can be used with any Autotest meter for
one direction loss testing as long as both instruments have matching
wavelengths. A pair of identical Two Way Loss Test Sets will provide
the most benefit for the user, allowing to measure bi-directional
average loss at multiple wavelengths and ORL at each end (KI 7340
Series only).
Initiating Autotest operation:
Turn on the instrument, connect light source to the power meter with
test lead and press [AUTOTEST]. The meter automatically sets to the
correct wavelengths and displays the absolute power in dBm, with the
operating wavelengths shown at the top right.
In Autotest, the display rotates through all source wavelengths. To
lock a display, press
–
side on [-
/+]. In this mode, “nm”
will be
flashing to show that the selected wavelength is locked. The nominal
source power transmitted from the source is on the left hand side of
the display. Pressing [Abs/Rel] will make meter to display measured
optical power in dB R with the reference value shown on the left side.
To exit Autotest, press [MENU] or disconnect patch lead for more
than 8 seconds.
