2.2 Key Function

2.2.1 Power ON / OFF

To turn on and o.

Press the button for
more than 2 seconds, the logo
shown appears. The meter then
displays the channel with the
highest power level.

Press the button for
more than 2 seconds to turn
the power o.

2.2.2 Power Meter

Power Measurement has 2
options ‘Auto’ and ‘Manual’. If
you select ‘Auto’, the instrument
automatically scans the
optical input and displays the
wavelength which has been
detected with the highest level
of power.

Use the arrow keys to scroll up/down to sequential wavelengths.

- ‘Manual’ allows for manual input of channel to be measured.

- In the above screen , click button, key in the channel to be measured.

- And click button.

- If you want to re-select ‘Auto’, click button again.

2.2.3 DWDM

Press the and the light
source is scanned only once.

You can select sequential
channels using , .
