Measuring Loss

Power Measurement Connections
Measuring Loss
The loss measurement shows how much optical power is lost in
a link’s fiber and connectors.
Setting the Reference
For the most accurate test results, you should set the reference
at these times:
At the beginning of each day.
Anytime you reconnect a test reference cord to the source.
Anytime you see a negative loss measurement.
You may set the reference from power or loss mode. Fluke
Networks recommends using power mode because the meter
shows the actual power level produced by the source. In loss
mode, the meter shows the difference between the power level
and the previous reference level.
