6 Saving and Recalling
Power/Loss Values
You can save 1000 power/loss values in your unit, along with references. You will
save and recall this data according to cable names and fiber numbers. To free up
memory, you can transfer saved data to a computer or simply delete all.
Setting Autonaming Scheme
When saving data, the unit suggests fiber IDs based on autonaming settings. After
saving a value, the unit prepares the next fiber ID according to the selected
increment (0, 1 or 2).
To define the cable name and the starting fiber ID and increment value:
1. From normal operating mode, press
repeatedly until you reach DATA.
2. Press
to access CAB1 or the last cable name
edited.
3. Hold down
until the first character of the cable
name blinks.
4. Select a character to change by pressing
until it blinks, then increase its
value by pressing
(it returns to 0 after Z).
5. While a digit blinks, hold down
a few seconds to save the modified value
(it remains in memory even when you turn off the unit) or press
to return
to the previous value without saving.
6. Press
twice to exit setup menus.
