The PACT Application
What is the PACT ?
PACT (Passive Component Test Software) makes it possible to use your
Agilent 8163A/B Lightwave Multimeter or Agilent 8164A/B Lightwave
Measurement System to control a system for testing pigtailed or
connectorized passive devices (filters, couplers, and isolators) over
wavelength. You must first install a Tunable Laser module and Power
Meters in your Agilent 8163A/B Lightwave Multimeter or
Agilent 8164A/B Lightwave Measurement System.
Depending on the configuration of the system you use, you can measure
insertion loss (single channel power measurement) over wavelength.
All results can be:
• displayed on the screen,
• printed out to hardcopy, or
• saved to disk drive of your Agilent 8164A/B Lightwave Measurement System.
