Tap ZERO SET.
Remove the optical fiber cables from the instrument and close the OPM port covers, or make sure that the
power meter is not receiving any light, and then start the optical power meter zero set procedure.
Note
Perform a zero-set whenever necessary, such as after you have turned on the power or when the ambient
temperature changes. Performing a zero-set adjusts the internal deviation of the optical power measurement
section and enables you to obtain more accurate absolute optical power values.
