On the results page, the following actions are available:
Standard Reference

measure the attenuation of a link. This reference is
displayed under the measurement result until a new
reference value is chosen.
Keep Result Saves the result on the corresponding line of the table.

If the Source function is selected (either on this Platform, on the base Unit
or on an OTDR module, or on another Platform), the Power meter results
page is different:
• The Wavelength, Unit and Zero menu keys are accessible via the
menu key Power Config.
• The Power Ref. menu key allows to reach the Standard Ref menu
key. It also allows to reach the Jumper Ref menu key if Power meter
function is associated with Source function onto another unit (see
2100/4100 Module User Manual).
Performing a measurement
The power meter is started up as soon as the function is activated
in the
HOME menu.
Power measurement is automatically updated in conse-
quence. The value «<-60 dB» is displayed when the laser
is switched off and if the source output is looped on to the
power meter input.
