Figure 7: The INTUN TL780-T control and monitor controls and status signals.
The user needs to provide the following electrical connections:
•
DC power +5 V and
±
15 V (see page 14)
•
DC voltage, low noise, [ -10 V, 10 V] for setting the output wavelength (see page 25)
•
DC voltage, low noise, [ -1 V, 10 V] for setting the optical output power level (see page 26).
•
Setting appropriate digital control signals (0 V / 5 V logical levels) (see page 20).
•
Reading the status of appropriate digital status signals (0 V / 5 V logical levels) (see page 22).
The electrical signals are accessible via the two connectors located on the rear side of the INTUN TL-T
and shown in Figure 8. The top (6 pin) connector connects the DC power supply to the INTUN TL-T
and the lower (40 pin) connector contains all other electrical control and status signals.
