Example 3: Create Power Level Reference

In order to use the output power analysis feature of the OP415, each cable type must be
referenced to establish a power level to compare against. This must be done for both the
standard types and any user-created types.
The reference screen can be accessed from the Settings menu (Page 2). Once there,
select the cable type to reference by pressing the Folder icon.
Next, connect the known cable to the source and receive ports of the OP415. Press the
Ref icon to input the power references.
Make sure all the lines are straight up and
down. If any of them are crossed, then
the cable does not match the selected
mapping. Save the results using the
Save icon and make sure the name
matches the file type before saving.
