Although FASTEST requires two units (one at each end of the fiber under
test), you initiate it from only one (the master). Both units use F
ASTEST
settings from the master unit.
To pe rfo r m a F
ASTEST:
Unit A (Master) Unit B
1. If necessary, null the offsets (see

3. Set up the F
ASTEST (see Setting Up the
FasTesT on page 48).
4. If you are testing ORL, perform an
ORL zero measurement from the ORL
Meter pane (see Performing ORL
Reference and Setting ORL Zero Value
on page 42).
