Performing the Acquisition
Reference
A power reference on the IQS-12004B DWDM Passive Component Test
System must be performed once a Nulling or a Wavelength Response has
been performed. The reference will be preceded by a power optimization,
if the software detects the presence of an IQS-5150 PSA and if the
Wavelength Response was not required. Once the reference has been
taken, you will be able to access the next step, Acquisition.
Performing the Acquisition
During this step, different connections must be made, that is, the
absorption cell must be connected to the output of the IQS-9401 WRM as
well as positioning the output of the cell in the first channel of the first
IQS-1600 Power Meter. You can enter the serial number of the NIST cell that
you are using for the test in the Wavelength Reference Cell S/N box.
A minimum of 20 scans is required, after which you can access the next
step, Analysis. The Stop button may be used at any time.
