Power Min/Max function in the SimpliFiber Pro
The Min/Max function shows the minimum and maximum power levels measured for each wavelength. This is useful if you suspect a mechanical issue at a connection. On your own, you can leave the meter to record while you "gentley tap" the connection. The feature can also be used to verify the stability of an optical source. That also includes active equipment.
CAUTION:
As per the manual, do not connect to equipment with an optical power greater than 10 dBm.
To enable the Min/Max function:
