Description

 

 

 

A

Battery status indicator

Displays the approximate remaining battery life. Three bars indicate the charge

 

 

level. When the battery indicator flashes, the batteries should be changed

 

 

immediately.

B

REF indicator

Press the Ref/Set button to toggle through stored reference values. The reference

 

 

values for the currently selected wavelengths are briefly displayed in the following

 

 

order:

 

 

CW mode: The reference value is displayed in field E.

 

 

Single WAVE ID mode: The reference value is displayed in field E.

 

 

Dual WAVE ID mode: The reference values are displayed in fields E and G.

 

 

 

C

WAVE ID indicator

Lights when a wavelength has been identified using the WAVE ID feature with a

 

 

compatible light source.

D

Wavelength

CW mode: Displays the currently selected wavelength.

 

 

Single WAVE ID mode: Displays the detected WAVE ID wavelength.

 

 

Dual WAVE ID mode: Displays the first detected WAVE ID wavelength.

E

Power

Displays measured power (dBm or μW), or insertion loss (dB) at the wavelength

 

 

displayed in field D.

 

 

If power or loss is too high or too low for accurate measurement, this field

 

 

displays HI or LO.

 

 

 

F

Tone / Wavelength

CW mode: Displays detected tone modulation frequency.

 

 

Dual WAVE ID mode: Displays the second detected WAVE ID wavelength.

 

 

 

G

Power

Displays measured power (dBm or μW), or insertion loss (dB) at the wavelength

 

(Dual WAVE ID mode

displayed in field F.

 

only)

If power or loss is too high or too low for accurate measurement, this field

 

 

displays HI or LO.
