SECTION 3 – Setup and Measurement
This section describes the set-up of the
OE-2
and provides instructions that enable the user to
take a quick measurement for rapid familiarization with the instrument.
In addition, this section describes the
Virtual Instrument Signal Integrity™ (VISI)
software tools
necessary for using the
OE-2
with any
WAVECREST
measurement instrument. Please refer to
the
VISI
User’s Guide for detailed definitions and instructions of this and other
VISI
tools.
Test System Requirements
To use the
OE-2
, a complete test system consisting of the following components is needed:
•
A
WAVECREST
OE-2
•
A
WAVECREST
SIA
or DTS (PC or Workstation with
VISI
installed) instrument
•
A source of optical signals
•
Interconnecting cables
Before attaching any connector to the
OE-2
, clean
all
optical connections using
an optical fiber connector cleaner such as the NTT-ME CLETOP.
To prevent damage to the optical-to-electric (O/E) input connector, a build-out connector is
included with the
OE-2
. The build-out connector can be replaced if it becomes damaged or dirty.
A dirty or scratched O/E input connector can severely degrade the input signal, resulting in
inaccurate measurements.
NOTE
: If the O/E input connector is damaged, the instrument must be returned to
WAVECREST
for repair.
Before Using the
OE-2
To ensure the highest accuracy and proper GPIB operation, it is important that:
All
OE-2
’s are warmed up for
at least ½ hour prior to taking a measurement.
All
OE-2
GPIB addresses have been correctly assigned (see page 8).
An external calibration of the
OE-2
is performed at least once each day (see page 12).
The
OE-2
should also be recalibrated if there has been a change of more than 5 C° in
ambient temperature.
Instrument Setup
Attach the power cord to the back of the instrument and to an appropriate power source.
See Appendix A for specific power requirements.
Attach the cleaned build-out connector to the
OE-2
input.
Attach the cleaned input signal cable to the build-out connector.
Turn on main power on the back of the unit.
Turn on front power switch. The front switch is typically used for daily operations and
also allows easy access to power if the unit is mounted in a rack.
