The PACT Application
What is the PACT ?
PACT (Passive Component Test Software) makes it possible to use your
8163A/B Lightwave Multimeter or 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 8163A/B
Lightwave Multimeter or 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.
This can be a convenient tool for quick tests. Much more powerful PACT
testing is available with the N7700A software for remote control.
How to Set Up PACT
To set up PACT:
1 Insert a Tunable Laser module and at least one Power Meter module
into your 8163A/B Lightwave Multimeter or 8164A/B Lightwave
Measurement System.
2 Turn your instrument on.
3Press the Appl hardkey. The Applications menu, as shown in Figure 160
