Wavelength
• Tap on a number: open Wavelength Modification pop-out
o Tap on a wavelength to replace the existing wavelength
o Tap on “X” to remove that wavelength
• Tap on “+”: open Wavelength Addition pop-out
o Tap on a wavelength to add that wavelength
o Tap on “X” to close the pop-out
• Press and swipe up/down: scroll through the wavelengths
Current results
• Tap when status is Complete or Paused: enable real-time display (Manual mode) or IL
monitoring (Auto mode)
o Note: real-time RL display uses Fast mode and has the same accuracy as
defined in the specifications sheet (see page 39)
• Tap when status is Real-time (Manual mode): start a measurement
• Tap when status is Measuring: pause the measurement
• Press and hold when status is Remote: return to Local mode
Current status and test plan name
• Symbols:
aborted
paused
paused (Auto mode)
complete
real-time
real-time (Auto mode)
Test parameter
• Tap on an existing parameter: open Parameter Modification pop-out
o Tap on a parameter to replace the existing parameter
o Tap on “X” to remove that parameter
• Tap on “+”: open Parameter Addition pop-out
o Tap on a parameter to add that parameter
o Tap on “X” to close the pop-out
• Test parameters (see Figure 11 for more information)
o IL
#
: insertion loss (IL) in dB on detector #
o RL: connector return loss (RL) in dB at position A
o RL
Total
: total return loss (ORL) in dB from the connector at position A to the
end of the fiber excluding the final glass-to-air reflection
o RL
Dual
: connector return loss (RL) in dB at positions A and B
Additional information
• If a software is controlling the RL1, will display message “Remote”
• If an XN1 test plan is loaded, will display the DUT SN after it is scanned
