OWL Software

OWL Reporter Software

OWL Reporter Software is included FREE with both Fiber OWL and Micro OWL optical power meters. The latest version of the software can be downloaded from this website. The software has a user friendly graphical interface and runs under Windows95 or Windows98. Data can be downloaded from your meter directly into the software with the serial cable provided with your meter. Once downloaded, the data can be selectively viewed, printed, and saved.

There is a summary view for quick pass/fail results or a more detailed view showing all information for a specific fiber run. Sorted certification reports can be printed in either summary or detail views. The data can be stored as a separate file or be merged with an existing data file.
