Measuring Power or Insertion Loss

Measuring Power or Insertion Loss

If your unit is equipped with a power meter, ConnectorMax2 provides
power meter measurements. The power meter view displays current
power and loss measurements. This view is available either in Live mode
or Capture mode.

For the MAX-700B platform, you can either perform measurements
manually and select each wavelength yourself, or you can use the
auto-wavelength and auto-switching modes of your source.

Note: When there is a selected wavelength and the source is in Auto mode, the

power meter switches automatically to Auto mode.

The correction factors and the offset nulling are not supported by
ConnectorMax2. For more information on your power meter, refer to the
corresponding user guide.
