Specifications

TYPE=M6 - fiber type code.
NEXT NAME - toggles through all of the Run Labels for all stored links. Toggling between run labels brings up the very first data
point for that run label.
NEXT RUN - toggles through all of the run numbers associated with the current run label. The wavelength does not change when
toggling through run numbers.
NEXT WAVE - toggles through the wavelengths associated with the current run label and number.
PRINT - sends the current data point to the serial port in a printable format.
EDIT - sends the user back out to Immediate Mode to re-test the current run. Editing the current run overwrites the old power
reading for the current run. This allows you to re-test a fiber without having to change any of the other data point information. When
the new data point is saved, the user must re-enter the STORED READINGS menu.
FIBER LINK MENU, Cont.
850nm and 1300nm have reference values set for this link.
DELETE LINK - allows the user to clear out the properties and all data points set for the selected link.
PRINT LINK - sends the link properties to the serial port in a printable format.
STORED READINGS MENU
Once you have your data stored in the meter’s memory, there are several things you can do with
them. We have already discussed downloading the data into our Reporter software. This is by
far the easiest way to manage your data and to format it into a professional looking report.
The FiberMeter can also manipulate this stored data without the use of Reporter. Stored readings
can be dumped out to the on-board serial port to a PC terminal program, or printed to a serial
printer.
VIEW/EDIT/PRINT - You may view, edit, or print any record.
PRINT RANGE - Print a range of values based on the current fiber label.
DELETE READINGS - delete a range of stored readings, or all stored readings.
DOWNLOAD - Download data points into Reporter, or in comma-delimited format to a terminal program.
BYTES FREE - Shows how many bytes remain for data storage. The meter has 1792 bytes of storage. This amount of RAM is sufficient
to store up to 900 data points.
If, at any time, there are no data stored in the meter, a notification screen will appear telling the user there is “NO STORED READINGS”
and will return to the STORED READINGS menu.
At any time while at the STORED READINGS menu, press to return to the MAIN MENU.
Press . This screen displays the information about a stored data point.
ACME - link name.
FBR:00 - fiber label and two-digit auto-increment number.
1300nm - wavelength.
-22.04dBm - absolute power level.
