Triggering Concepts
It is possible to trigger the DUT measurements either directly on
the network analyzer or using the LCA software, by pressing the
LCA "Single" or "Continuous" keys.
However there are some differences:
• when the modulator bias optimization mode is set to "Every
Sweep" or "Continuous", using the LCAsoftware starts a
modulator bias optimization before starting a DUT
measurement.
This is not done when triggering the measurements directly
on the network analyzer.
• when doing EO or OO measurements, using the LCA
software, it measures the DC level of the optical power on the
receiver, and adjusts the deembedding data if necessary. This
means more accurate results than a measurement started
directly on the network analyzer.
During "LCA Measurement Setup" it is assumed that the DUT
has no optical loss and the receiver deembedding is setup for
a DC power level equal to the selected optical output power
of the LCA. When the internal light source is not used (EO
measurement in "Default" mode), the receiver deembedding
is setup for a DC power level of 0.0 dBm.
During measurements started using the LCAsoftware, the
network analyzer does not respond to any keystrokes on the
keypad. The only way to stop a measurement during a sweep is
to press the "Abort" button in the "Sweeping..." window (which
is shown on the display).
In some cases it makes sense to start a measurement directly on
the network analyzer. For example, when the time for a single
sweep is shorter than a certain limit , the "Sweeping..." window
is no longer shown. This happens with a low number of
measurement points and a high bandwidth setting on the
network analyzer. Such a measurement can only be stopped in
the time between two sweeps.
When doing an OE measurement with modulator bias
optimization mode set to "Single", this time window is very
short, since the LCA does nothing between the sweeps. In such
cases, the running measurements can always be stopped by
pressing the "Abort Measurement" button on the LCA Server
window.
