From the STORED LINKS menu, highlight the link name you wish to use. The
currently loaded link is denoted by an asterisk.
NOTE: take care to NOT overwrite a previously configured link unless it is no
longer needed.
There are three different test methods used to configure a link:
<1>USE A STANDARD TO CERTIFY LINK - this is the same as running the Link
Wizard. See the section “CERTIFICATION METER - Cabling Standard
Certification Test” in this unit for instructions.
<2>MANUAL REFERENCE - see below
<3>ZERO LIGHT SOURCE - see page 3-5

Manual references are used to configure the FiberMeter with custom link loss
requirements.
There are two types of manual reference methods: Link Budget and Manual
Reference. Each of these methods are recommended for advanced users only.
The Wave column shows the wavelengths available for referencing.
The R(dBm) column shows the light source reference power level in dBm. By
default, this shows +00.00dBm.
The LB(dB) column shows the manually-set link budget in dB. By default, this shows -00.01 dB.
WAVELENGTH - scrolls between the wavelengths in the FiberMeter. The currently selected
wavelength is highlighted.
MANUAL REF - allows the user to manually set a reference level. See page 3-4 for instructions.
LINK BUDGET - allows the user to manually set their own link budget. See page 3-4 for instructions.
