Measuring Power or Loss

6. Match the source and power meter

wavelengths:

If the source emits an auto-wavelength
signal or is in auto-switching mode (see
Automatically Detecting Wavelength on
page 29 and see
To receive the
auto-wavelength signal or detect the source's auto-switching
mode:
on page 29), the power meter automatically matches the
source wavelength.

OR

Press

to switch between pre-selected wavelengths (see

Defining a List of Favorite Wavelengths on page 22).

When the unit detects a modulated signal, it beeps and displays the
modulation value and average measured power or loss (see left
illustration above). You may notice a slightly unstable last digit.

7. If necessary, change the displayed units by pressing
