1) Press the button.
2) After a few seconds, you will be prompted to choose an operating mode. When SIMPLE METER is

Immediate Mode will appear after the unit is booted up into SIMPLE METER.
Your display may show ‘UNDER’ - this will occur if the dustcap is still covering the
detector port.
There are three functions on the function options menu:
UNITS - toggles the power units between dBm, dB, and microwatts;
ZERO - sets an optical reference, or “zero” for the currently selected
wavelength; and
WAVE - toggles the wavelength between the calibrated wavelengths
(see the specifications in the appendix for a list of calibrated
wavelengths).
SIMPLE METER
UNIT 2
2-1
SIMPLE METER is a mode within the FiberMeter that allows the user to quickly and easily display the
attenuation of a fiber link. This mode is used when data storage is not necessary, only the most basic
functions are required: fiber loss measurement, optical power measurement, patch cord testing, or active
equipment monitoring.

SIMPLE METER Test Procedures
SIMPLE METER can be used for several different types of tests. These tests include:
Attenuation Measurement
Fiber Continuity Testing
Patch Cord Testing
Active Equipment Measurement
Optical Fiber Length Measurement (light source versions only)
Each of these tests will be described in more detail in this unit.
