Specifying a printer for the instrument
After specifying a printer for the instrument, you can print the following for the currently
running test application:
•
The display
•
The setup parameters
•
The test results
To specify a printer for the instrument
1
Press the
SYSTEM/HOME
button.
2
Select the
System Setup
softkey.
3
In the Printer box, select
Printer
, and then select the type of printer you are
connecting to the unit. If you select a USB printer, you can then select the manu-
facturer for the printer.
The printer is specified. For instructions on connecting a printer to the base unit, refer
to the
8000 Base Unit User Manual
or
6000A Base Unit User Manual
.
Connecting your instrument to the circuit
Before connecting your instrument to the circuit for testing, consider the following:
•
Older chassis for some test instruments provide internal connectors for all
supported optical line rates.
•
Newer chassis require either an external optical connector or a CFP, SFP, SFP+,
XFP, or QSFP+ transceiver (and/or adapter) to test optical circuits, providing
greater flexibility. For handling guidance, see
“Handling CFP adapters and trans-
“Handling SFP/SFP+, XFP, and QSFP+ transceivers” on
•
If you are connecting an MSAM to the circuit, verify that the appropriate PIM (or
PIMs) are inserted into the MSAM.
•
When selecting the cable, consider the following:
–
What type of connectors are required?
–
Are you testing an electrical or optical circuit?
–
If you are testing an optical circuit, is it a single-mode or multi-mode circuit?
–
Do you need a crossover cable?
–
Do you have the appropriate attenuator for the cable?
After considering the items above, these basic steps should be followed.
