Automatically Detecting Wavelength

Automatically Detecting Wavelength

Compatible sources (such as FOT-930, FOT-300 and FLS-300) can transmit
their wavelength values through the fiber, avoiding the need to manually
match the source and power meter wavelengths.

Note: When receiving an auto-wavelength (or Auto-ID) signal, you cannot

manually change the power meter wavelength.

To receive an auto-wavelength signal from a source:
1.
Press Menu, then select Setup > Power

Meter.

OR

From the Power Meter pane, press Setup
(F1/F2 key).

2. Use the arrows to select Automatic

wavelength detection, then press Enter.

3. Connect a compatible source to your unit’s power meter port.

4. Activate the source in Auto-ID mode (FOT-930: see Using a Light

Source on page 59).

Your power meter automatically matches the source wavelength.
