About Auto-λ mode
When in one of the Auto-λ modes, the ORL-85/ORL-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 ORL-85/ORL-85P provides two Auto-λ modes:
• Multi-λ: Multi-λ 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-λ-Multi should be selected every time the optical
powermeter supports the Auto-λ-Multi feature.
• Serial-λ 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-λ should be selected when low levels are expected on
the optical power meter or when the power meter doesn't
support Multi-λ.
