OLP-85/OLP-85P
Enabling Auto- mode
Auto  is a special feature developed by Viavi that allows you to
identify wavelengths automatically (from OLS-XX, MTS-2k/4k/6k
OTDR CW-source). To do this, the signal is modulated at a
certain frequency (by a light source equipped with Auto , such
as a Viavi OLS-85), which can be detected by a Viavi OLP-85.
In Auto  mode the detected wavelength will be included in the
 table. As long as the detected wavelength is active, it cannot be
deleted from the  table.
Wavelengths cannot be reliably detected if:
• the receive level is too low,
• wavelength encoding cannot be detected due to interference
• you are measuring the absolute level of a system that does not
have wavelength encoding matching Viavi power sources.
To switch Auto  mode on/off :
The instrument is in Powermeter mode.

Displaying modulated signals
The OLP-85/OLP-85P automatically detects the modulation
frequency of light signals modulated at the fixed frequencies of
270 Hz, 1 kHz, and 2 kHz. The detected frequency is shown in
the lower right measurement display pane.
