1.6 Loss Test (Option)
You can easily measure optical fiber and optical line degradation. This feature is available on AQ1200A
models with the /SLT or /HLT option.
Auto Loss Test (Using one AQ1200 as the light source and
another as the optical power meter)
Using the AQ1200 as a light source and optical power meter, you can easily measure optical fiber and
line degradation. You can also use the AQ1100 multi-field tester series instead of the AQ1200 as the
light source or optical power meter.
Light Source
You can set up to two measurement light wavelengths and produce them in order. You can produce
a constant level of light if you use the optical power adjustment feature.
Optical Power Meter
The AQ1200 automatically identifies the measurement light from the AQ1200 that it is connected to
and measures the optical power.
• The following items can be specified or executed. For details about these items, see section 1.5.
The unit, reference, offset, and threshold values can be specified.
The zero set and measured value display hold operations can be executed.
• You can attach fiber information to the measured values and save them.
*
* Because the AQ1200 is capable of identifying optical fiber and line cores, it is possible to number cores
and tapes.

Loop-Back Loss Test (Using one AQ1200)
You can use the light source and optical power meter features on a single AQ1200 to perform a loop-
back loss test on an optical fiber or line. To perform loss testing, connect one end of the fiber that
you want to perform loss testing on to the AQ1200 light source port, and connect the other end to the
optical power measurement port of the same AQ1200.
