Test of the Tunable Laser Module Channel (Slot 0)
If you need to test a back-loadable Tunable Laser module slot, perform the
remaining list items. This test only applies to the Agilent 8164A/B
Lightwave Measurement System.
16Connect the power output of the Tunable Laser module to the input of the
power sensor.
17Switch on the Agilent 8164A/B and wait until is has booted.
18Press Preset, the green hardkey, to set all parameters to their default values.
19Move to [λ], the wavelength of your Tunable Laser module, type 1550.00.
20Move to [λ], the wavelength of your power sensor, type 1550.00.
21Set the [P], the output power, and [Att], the attenuation, to the value given in
Ta b l e 2 2 .
22Note the power reading of the power sensor in the test record.
