Enters the positive peak range for the DS3 signal as recorded by the attached mea-
suring device. Use the Touch Screen keypad to enter this value. Refer to Chapter 3
for information about DS3 calibration.
DS3 Neg Peak
Enters the negative peak range for the DS3 signal as recorded by the attached
measuring device. Use the Touch Screen keypad to enter this value.
STSX-1 Pos Peak
Enters the positive peak range for the electrical signal as recorded by the attached
measuring device. Use the Touch Screen keypad to enter this value. Refer to
Chapter 4 for information about STSX-1 calibration.
STSX-1 Neg Peak
Enters the positive peak range for the electrical signal as recorded by the attached
measuring device. Use the Touch Screen keypad to enter this value.
Optical Power Range
Sets the optical power range. There are four calibration ranges available for this
command. Refer to Chapter 5 for information about Optical Power calibration.
Optical Power
Enters the optical power as measured by an optical power meter. Use the Touch
Screen keypad to enter this value.
OC48 Optical Power
Sets the optical power measurements for the OC-48 hardware. This command is
available only if the OC-48 option is installed. Refer to Chapter 5 for information
about OC-48 Optical Power calibration.
Save Calibration
Saves any calibration value changes. You must enter a calibration password for
the ASA 312 to accept the new values. Use the Touch Screen keypad to enter the
password. Refer to Chapter 6 for information about saving new calibration values.
Change Password
Creates and saves a new calibration password. Use the Touch Screen keypad to
enter a new password. Refer to Chapter 6 for information about changing calibra-
tion passwords.
Before You Calibrate the ASA 312
Read the procedures presented in Chapters 2 through 6 before attempting to
calibrate the ASA 312.
When calibrating the ASA 312, you can:
■
Complete a calibration procedure and then immediately save the new
settings for that specific calibration, or
■
Complete all calibration procedures and then save all of the new calibration
settings at once.
The ASA 312 stores new calibration values only when the new data is intentionally saved
using the
Save Calibration
command.
If an error is made during calibration and the user wants to go back to the system default
calibration settings, simply turn the ASA 312 OFF, then ON again, prior to using the
Save Calibration
command.
