3.3 Optical Power Meter Function

1. Enceneu el dispositiu.
2. Ensure the device is in power meter mode (indicated on the LCD). If not, press OP/SL per canviar.
3. Connect the fiber optic cable to the fiber port.
4. The power meter can automatically recognize and switch to the measured wavelength.
5. Premeu Lambda to manually cycle through the available wavelengths (850/1300/1310/1490/1550/1625nm) if needed.
6. Premeu dBm/W to switch between linear (W) and logarithmic (dBm) display of optical power.
7. To set a reference value, press REF. The display will show the current reading as 0dB, and subsequent measurements will be relative to this reference.
