Avoiding Optical Receiver Overload
Check when connecting an optical transmitter to an optical
receiver that you do not overload the receiver. This applies to
elements under test and also the instrument receiver input
ports.
On the instrument connector panel the following output/input
power level information is printed:
Tx Optical Out
ports:
Rx Optical In ports:
When performing tests, it is recommended that you drive the
optical receiver with a signal that has an average power in the
middle of the receiver's operating range (mid-way between the
upper and lower levels printed next to the Optical In port).
