GENERAL DESCRIPTION
The OPTICAL SPECTRUM ANALYZER module is build for use in the X-BERT mainframe, which has
a modular setup depending on the
user’s configuration (E-BERT-, O-BERT-, Clock Source-, Clock
divider-, CDR-, OPM-, VOA-, OSW-, PHS- module
, etc…). The mainframe is controlled via GPIB, USB
or LAN.
The OPTICAL SPECTRUM ANALYZER module is the ideal module to split an available clock signal
(400MHz to 850MHz) with good jitter and noise performance up to 6 channels. Every channel can be
used to set up an independent delay time up to ± 200ps. In combination with the E-BERT module a
parallel test setup is available for certain high speed measurements.
The delay time is selectable in 10ps steps for every channel using the buttons on the front panel and
in 1ps steps by the X-BERT GUI. All settings are controllable by the X-BERT graphical user interfaces
(X-BERT PARALLEX GUI) via controller interface. The programming commands for controlling the
OPTICAL SPECTRUM ANALYZER
module are documented in the GPIB programmer’s guide.
Please take a look at our website
for newly released modules; we are constantly
expanding our product spectrum.
