The PSO-200 Optical Modulation Analyzer runs on a Microsoft Windows 
environment. When you turn it on, the unit should automatically start the 
Optical Modulation Analyzer application.
When starting the application, the PSO-200 requires some time to initialize, 
during which certain features, such as the Start button, are not available. A 
message is displayed in the status bar while initialization is in progress.
To start the application:
Double-click the shortcut icon on the desktop.
From the Windows Start menu, select All Programs > EXFO > 
Optical Modulation Analyzer.
To exit the application:
1. From the File menu, select Exit.
OR
Click the
button in the bottom right corner of the main window.
2. Select which shutdown method you want.
Turn off the unit: closes the 
application and completely shuts 
down the PSO-200.
Terminate session: closes the 
application and logs off the 
current Windows session, but 
does not shut down the PSO-200.
Exit: closes the application only.

when you exit the application.
