Auto Loss Test (combination of light source and optical power
meter)
Using the instrument as a light source and optical power meter, you can easily measure optical fiber
cable and line degradation. You can also use the AQ1100/AQ1200A/AQ1200B/AQ1200C/AQ1200E/
AQ1205A/AQ1205E/AQ1205F in the multi-field tester series instead of this instrument as the light
source or optical power meter.
Light Source Feature
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 Feature
The instrument automatically identifies the measurement light from the opposing instrument
or AQ1100/AQ1200A/AQ1200B/AQ1200C/AQ1200E/AQ1205A/AQ1205E/AQ1205F that it is
connected to and measures the optical power.

Loopback Feature
You can use the light source and optical power meter features on a single instrument to perform a
loop-back loss test on an optical fiber cable or line. To perform loss testing, connect one end of the
optical fiber cable that you want to perform loss testing on to the the instrument’s OTDR port (PORT1)
and the other end to the OPM port on the same instrument.
