This chapter explains how to set up and perform the following applications
using the 8163A/B Lightwave Multimeter or 8164A/B Lightwave
Measurement System:
• The Logging application logs and displays power measurements. The
Logging application performs measurements consecutively without the
possibility of any pause between measurements.
• The Stability application logs and displays power measurements. The
Stability application differs from the Logging application because:
• you may use auto-ranging mode, and
• the period time, the time it takes from the start of one measurement
period until another measurement period starts, may be greater
than or equal to the averaging time.
• The PACT application coordinates a wavelength sweep using a Tunable
Laser module and power measurement using Power Meters.
• The Pmax Curve application displays the maximum power across the
wavelength range of your Tunable Laser module.
• The Return Loss application can be used to measure return loss and
insertion loss and to calibrate the instrument for this measurement.
