24.4 Optical Power measurement
You can choose to measure a single wavelength, or 2, or all 3 simultaneously:
Measurement of insertion losses:
Make a first measurement at the top of your installation:
press the Reference of the desired wavelength.
The device keeps this measurement as Reference and automatically switches to dB.
Take your measurements at any point in your installation to check the losses on the optical signal.
Warning :
- Optical Power measurement between -50 / +10 dBm
- Optical conversion -> RF between -12 / -3 dBm
Use an external optical attenuator if necessary.
