1300nm
 z Press and release to cycle through output wavelengths in the 
following order:
Dual 850/1300 nm  > 850 nm  > 1300 nm > dual  850/1300 nm > ...
 z Press and hold to switch to CW mode at the current 
wavelength, then press and hold the button again to select a 
single wavelength in the following order: 
850 nm > 1300 nm > 850 nm ...

Measuring Optical Power 
NOTE: It is important to keep all optical connections and surfaces clean to ensure 
accurate measurements and operation. Always clean reference cables before 
conducting tests. 
1.  Turn on the FPM 101.
2.  Select the appropriate fiber optic reference cable. The reference cable fiber type 
(SM or MM), must be the same as the type required by the output being measured. 
3.  Mount the appropriate adapter cap on the FPM 101 port. 
4.  Connect one end of the 
reference cable to the adapter 
cap and the other end to the 
optical output to be measured.
5.  Press the wavelength button 
(see “Wavelength/Backlight” 
on page 1) to select the 
wavelength matching the 
nominal wavelength of the 
source being measured. The 
selected wavelength is indicated 
by 
e
 in the display. 
6.  Press the power selection 
button (see “dB/dBm/µW” on 
page 1) to display power in 
dBm, or press and hold to display 
power in µW. The power output 
is indicated by 
f
 in the display.
