Note
If Wavelength mode is set to Simple, a different reference value can be set and retained for each waveform.
If set to Detail or CWDM, the reference value must be reset when the wavelength is changed.
Bar Graph and Threshold Display
The upper and lower threshold values specified on the optical power meter setup screen are
displayed with broken lines. While the bar is within the threshold boundaries, it is displayed in
green. Otherwise, it is displayed in red.
Holding the Measured Value Display
You can stop the measured value, bar graph, and maximum and minimum values from being
updated. The values when you apply HOLD remain displayed. To release the hold, press the HOLD
soft key again.
