SET REF results in a flashing Err on the MultiFiber Pro

If the received power is less than -27.5 dBm on the MutliFiber Pro meter when saving a reference, the meter will not allow you to save the reference you just carried out. It will flash the "Err" on the instrument before swapping to the LOSS menu/measurement screen.
