The WaveTester is a highly accurate hand-held optical power meter, capable of performing a wide range of functions from simple optical power and loss measurements to full-featured standards-based link certification. When used with OWL WaveSource fiber optic light sources, the WaveTester provides fiber optic professionals with automatic wavelength switching so that the power meter and light source are always set to the same wavelength, and automatic dual-wavelength storage cuts down on testing time and human error. Up to 200 fiber runs can be stored in memory which can be downloaded to a PC using FREE OWL Reporter software via the supplied download cable. A 2.5mm universal and 1.25mm universal connector port are included to connect to a wide variety of popular fiber optic connectors, including SC, ST, FC, LC, MU, and other SFF. As an option, a visual fault locator (VFL) can be integrated into the WaveTester. VFLs are useful for locating faults behind patch panels, and for identifying optical ports at the far end of a fiber link.
