Once both calibration points are entered, the new calibration values are implemented
immediately and stored in the system's flash-memory, and the current wavelength/
frequency setting of the ECL module is updated to match the new calibration data.
The new calibration wavelengths/frequencies sets the new system calibration default.
The ECL
Unit Setup
menu is displayed.
9.9.3
Performing a Power Calibration
Subject
This section explains how to perform a two-point power calibration sequence using the
Power calibration
function. The purpose of this calibration is to correct the discrepancies
between the power displayed by the OSICS ECL module and the power measured at your
reference power meter.
Also, calibration is made at two different wavelengths to account for small wavelength-
dependence of the power meter.
The new calibration data sets the new system calibration default.
Before Starting
Make sure you have a power meter.
Procedure
1.
Set the ECL output power to
1 mW
.
2.
Connect the optical output of the OSICS ECL module to a power meter.
3.
Enable the module optical output (see section
Enabling/Disabling the Light Source of

5.
Expand the
Calibration
menu and enter the
Power calibration
sub-menu.
The message

appears, and the
Power calibration
sub-menu appears,
prompting you to set the power at the first wavelength value.

6.
Measure the power level at the first wavelength on the power meter.
A valid power value can range from 0.6 mW to 1.2 mW.
7.
Enter the power value measured by the power meter and select
