Explanation
The master and slave must share the same project information. The methods for sharing project
information are listed below. Models with -SPM or -HPM suffix codes can share project information.
Sending a Project
You can send project information from the master to the slave.
First, you must specify a fiber for communicating the project information from the master to the slave.
Before you transfer the project information, connect one end of the communication fiber that you
specified to the master’s light source port, and connect the other end to the slave’s optical power
measurement port.
• Prepare the slave to receive the project information.
• After you have confirmed that the slave is ready to receive the information, send it from the master.
Loading a Project File
Load the same project file onto the master and the slave. Use a project file that you have saved to
internal or USB memory.
Restarting an Interrupted Loss Test
A multicore fiber loss test may be stopped before all the cores have been tested. When the test for a
shared project is interrupted, you can restart it where it left off, retaining the results of the test so far.
Data is maintained even when you turn the AQ1200 off.
• You must be performing the loss test with the same project.
• If you reload a project file, the loss test data up to that point is deleted and cannot be recovered.
• If you set Start Menu to Last Function, the loss test measurement screen is displayed when you
restart a loss test. Select master or slave on the displayed screen, and restart the loss test. For
instructions on how to set Start Menu, see section 10.1
