Locate the appropriate test port on the light source for the fiber type to be tested.

The below grid shows the various configurations for WaveSource Pro light sources:

Model #:	Left-hand Port	Right-hand Port
WPMX	Multimode: 850/1300nm	--
WPMV	Multimode: 850/1300nm	VFL: Visual Fault Locator
WPSX	--	Singlemode: 1310/1550nm
WPSV	VFL: Visual Fault Locator	Singlemode: 1310/1550nm
WPMS	Multimode: 850/1300nm	Singlemode: 1310/1550nm

Connect the reference cable to the appropriate light source port and the OPM port on the Fiber OWL 7 as shown on the meter screen.

Remember to put the correct universal adapter on the OPM port.
