Referencing Your Power Meter to a Source

In reference mode, your unit displays the loss created by the fiber under
test only, since it subtracts a reference value from the measured power.

In the illustration, the reference value (-2.62 dBm) is subtracted from the
actual power measured (-2.465 dBm).

Note: The reference value you set for each wavelength remains in memory until a

new one is set for the same wavelength, even when you turn the unit off.
