Multifunction Loss Tester 59
10 Using a Light Source
Your unit may contain two source ports: a 2- or 3-wavelength singlemode
port and a 2-wavelength multimode port, depending on the configuration
(see Technical Specifications on page 93).
The source signal can be continuous (CW or high-power) or modulated
(270 Hz, 1 kHz or 2 kHz) and uses the F
AS T ES T ports.

CW signal (the default): constant power over the temperature range,
but about 3 dB lower than maximum.

High-power signal: reaches maximum power, but its power slightly
varies over the temperature range.
A special Auto ID signal can transmit its wavelength value, to facilitate
wavelength detection by a compatible unit.

The Power Meter pane remains displayed
when you use the source.

If you switch to power meter or VFL while a
source is active, the Source pane remains
displayed.

When you switch sources, the modulation
remains the same. It is indicated in the Source pane.
W
ARNING
When a source is active, its port emits invisible laser radiation.
Avoid exposure and do not stare directly into the beam. Ensure that
any unused port is properly protected with a cap.
