5 Operation 5.4 Frequency Output The instrument defaults to CW when it switches on. When it is set to CW, there is no frequency on display. Press the "CW/Hz" Key to select the output among 270Hz, 1kHz and 2kHz. „CW“ is not displayed on the LCD. 5.5 Auto-wavelength Recognition Press the "TWIN"... - Page 10 Press the backlighting key to switch the backlighting of the LCD on and off. 5.7 Connection with the ARGUS Optical Power Meter The Optical Light Source can be connected to the ARGUS Optical Power Meter to accurately measure the attenuation of optical fibers.
- Page 11 5.8 Wavelength detection with Twin Mode and ARGUS SFP-OPM Wavelength detection can be performed with the ARGUS OPM-SFP using the twin mode. The bit sequence transmitted in twin mode is recognized in the ARGUS 300 with the OPM- SFP plugged in and assigned to a wavelength.
- Page 12 5 Operation Channel 2 has only one wavelength, which is detected after a few seconds. It is important that the device identifier and the firmware are also displayed. The firmware should match the firmware indicated in the Lightsource screen.
