Note
•  When you set the markers, set them so that the 
 marker is on the measurement start point (distance 
reference) side.
•  The measured loss value differs depending on the specified approximation method.
•  Distance Reference
  Normally, the location where the instrument and the optical fiber cable are connected is the 
measurement reference point. This reference point is the distance reference. It is used to 
calculate the distance to the cursor and markers. If you are using a launch fiber to perform 
measurements, move the distance reference the length of the launch fiber before performing 
measurements.
   
•  Cursor Link (Moving all markers together)
  You can move all markers while maintaining the distance between them.
