Measuring Optical Power
The power measurement shows the optical power level
produced by a source such as an optical network interface
card or optical test equipment.
To measure power:
1
Clean the connectors on the link or source to be tested.
Use fiber optic solvent and optical-grade wipes or
swabs to clean connectors as described on page 13.
2
On the meter, press until POWER appears (Figure 8.)
3
Make the connections shown in Figure 7.
4
On the meter, press to select the wavelength
generated by the source.
5
To save the measurement, press SAVE. The meter
briefly shows the record number and OK.
If the source was automatically switching wavelengths,
the
meter saves measurements for all wavelengths in
one record.
