Setting up IQTX and powering ON
Setting up IQTX and powering ON
The RF signal connectors are used to input an RF generated pattern for optical transmission. Depending
on the IQTX model, a single or dual polarization optical signal can be generated from the RF input
signals.
•
Ensure that the IQTX is ON before applying any RF signals to the RF signal inputs.
•
Ensure the input RF signal voltage remains below the specified 500 mV pk-pk.
•
For advice on connector care, refer section 4 Working with electrical connectors.
•
The IQTX is sensitive to ESD. Ensure you are wearing a grounded wrist strap at all times
when handling the instrument to prevent damage from electrostatic discharge.
•
Do not remove the IQTX instrument from the antistatic packaging until required.
•
Take care not to handle the optical connectors on the IQTX instrument, as once they are
exposed to skin contact this may leave corrosive residue and damage the connector.
•
You must use the IEC cable that has been supplied by Quantifi Photonics with the unit.
STEP 1:
