then immediately release the button.
The right-hand indicator LED on the WaveSource will begin alternating between the colors
and
, which
indicates that the output wavelengths are automatically switching.
The WaveTester will automatically sense the wavelength switching, and will co-ordinate with the WaveSource.
STEP 13

TAKE READINGS
STEP 14
Remove the patch cable from the detector port on the WaveTester, and bring both units to the opposite
ends of the link under test.
STEP 15
Connect the WaveTester and WaveSource to the link under test as shown in Figure 3 below.
STEP 16
Press
<SAVE>
on the WaveTester to store readings
for both 1310nm and 1550nm simultaneously for
the current fiber under test.
STEP 17
