The menu is closed and the measurement display is shown.
2. To select a wavelength, tap the desired wavelength(s) on the
measurement display.

or press the central key.
About Auto- mode
When in one of the Auto- modes, the OLS-85/OLS-85P embeds
wavelength ID information into the emitted signal(s). This
wavelength ID information can be utilized by a compatible Viavi
power meter (e.g. OLP-85) for automatic wavelength setup and
for simultaneous reception of multiple wavelengths.
The OLS-85/OLS-85P provides two Auto- modes:
• Multi-: Multi- is a proprietary Viavi solution that reduces
testing time to a minimum by simultaneously testing at both
wavelengths. When activated both wavelength are measured
and displayed simultaneously.
Auto--Multi should be selected every time the optical
powermeter supports the Auto--Multi feature.
• Serial- automatically toggles between the selected
wavelengths. Combined with a compatible power meter (e.g.
OLP-3x, OLP-85), the power meter automatically sets up with
correct wavelength settings.
Serial- should be selected when low levels are expected on
the optical power meter or when the power meter doesn't
support Multi-.
