358 Agilent 8163A/B, 8164A/B & 8166A/B Mainframes, Sixth Edition
Module Interaction Test
1 Setup the test equipment as shown in Figure 201 :
Insert the fixed laser source module in slot 1 and the power sensor in slot 2 . If
you use the Agilent 8164A/B Lightwave Measurement System, insert the back-
loadable Tunable Laser module, if available, in slot 0.
2 Switch on the mainframe and wait until it has booted.
3 Press Preset, the green hardkey, to set all parameters to their default values.
4 Ensure that [λ], the wavelength of the power sensor module equals [λ], the
wavelength of the laser source in slot 1.
5 Ensure, the attenuation of the laser source is set to 0.00 dB.
6 Move to the power sensor channel, move to [P], press
[Power Unit], and select <dBm> from the menu that appears.
7 Press the key beside the laser output on the module front panel to switch on
the laser source.
8 Note the power reading of the power sensor in the test record. The Module
Interaction Test ends here if you use the Agilent 8163A/B.
9 Switch your mainframe off, by pressing the Power Key.
10Move the laser source module from slot 1 to slot 3, and the power sensor
module from slot 2 to slot 4.
11Connect the output of the laser source in slot 3 to the input of the power sensor
in slot 4.
12Repeat step items 2 to 8.
13Move the laser source to a slot with an odd number and the power sensor to
the following slot with an even number. For the last test, leave the source in
slot 15 and move the power sensor to slot 17.
14Connect the output of the laser source to the input of the power sensor.
15Repeat step items 2 to 8.
The following functional test assumes the use of modules which are
within specification.
NOTE
If you use the Agilent 8164A/B, perform steps 9 to 12.
If you use the Agilent 8166A/B, perform steps 9 to 15.
