Toggling the laser on / off
In the CONTROL tab, you can toggle the laser in a specific channel of the IQTX ON or OFF by clicking the
STATE button.
Setting the dither size
The DITHER SIZE value (percentage of VPI) for each modulator bias can be set in the ADVANCED tab by
clicking the parameter field, or by using the + and
–
control buttons to increase or decrease the value by
a set amount. The step size is set to 2%.
Alternatively, the DITHER SIZE can also be set to the MIN and MAX value by clicking the dropdown in the
name of the parameter.
Increasing the dither size will lead to a more accurate bias optimization, but a larger dither will show up
as an occasional perturbation to the bias voltage.
