Starting the ORL Measurement Scan

Starting the ORL Measurement Scan

Once the reference measurement is complete and if the ORL
measurement has been selected, you will be prompted to prepare for the
ORL measurement.

If the device you are testing is not terminated with low-reflection APC
connectors, you will have to provide some sort of temporary low-reflection
termination. One method is to mandrel wrap the output fibers (see figure
below). Another option would be to use an index matching material.

Once all connections and preparations have been made, click OK in the
main window to activate the software and start the ORL measurement
scan.

Note: You can abort the ORL measurement scan at any time by clicking the Stop

button or pressing F2.

Once the measurement is done, you are brought directly to the next step.
