The Optical Power Meter is a JDSU accessory used to measure optical power.
– The MP-60 meter measures 850, 1300, 1310,1490, and 1550 nm wavelengths
– The MP-80 meter measures 980, 1310,1480, and 1550 nm wavelengths
The features of the Optical Power Meter include:
– Takes power measurements for all single-mode and multi-mode connectors via USB 2.0
connection.
– Measures optical power with multiple pre-calibrated wavelengths.
– Integrates digital power measurements, fiber inspection, and analysis into a single, unified
work sequence.
Measuring optical power
To measure optical power, a Power Meter must be inserted into the USB port.
To measure optical power
1
From the Main menu, select Optical Power.
The Optical Power Setup menu appears.
2
Specify the settings.

3
Connect the Optical Power Meter to the USB connector on the right side of the instrument.
4
Connect the optical patch cord to the power meter.
5
Select Optical Power Test Menu.
This menu item appears only when an Optical Power Meter is plugged into the USB
connector; otherwise, "Insert USB Power Meter" appears.
The power meter test results appear. The measurement begins as soon as the test is
launched.

Description
To measure a specific wavelength, select the wavelength.
Use Auto to automatically detect the wavelength.
NOTE: Auto-Detect requires a JDSU optical source.
Specifies the absolute measurement unit: mW or dBm.
Specify the LED threshold (in dBm). This specifies the threshold for the power
LED on the Optical Power Meter. Solid indicates the power is below the thresh-
old (low power), flashing indicates the power is above the threshold.
Specify the pass/fail threshold (in dBm) for the test. If the measured power is
below the threshold, it fails.
Specify whether to run the pass/fail test.
Reports the firmware rev of the attached power meter.
