soft key. The loss test starts, and the soft key display changes to
Loss Test STOP. Then, the optical power value of the wavelength is displayed on the instrument
screen.
Tap the Loss Test STOP soft key to end the loss test.
Note
When you start a loss test, the optical power values of wavelength 1 and wavelength 2 (if the wavelength is
set) are measured once. Then, the soft key display changes to Loss Test STOP, which you can use to end
the loss test. In addition, you can abort the loss test by tapping the loss test start ON/OFF button on the light
source display screen.
Saving Data

soft key. A screen appears for saving the results of optical power
measurements for multi-fiber cables. For details, “Saving the Results of Optical Power
Measurements for Multi-Fiber Cables” (page 7-12) in section 7.3.
