13 Move the laser source to a slot with an odd number and the power
sensor to the following slot with an even number. For the last test,
leave the source in slot 15 and move the power sensor to slot 17.
14 Connect the output of the laser source to the input of the power
sensor.
15 Repeat step items 2 to 8.

Test of the Tunable Laser Module Channel (Slot 0)

If you need to test a back-loadable Tunable Laser module slot, perform
the remaining list items. This test only applies to the Agilent 8164A/B
Lightwave Measurement System.
16 Connect the power output of the Tunable Laser module to the input
of the power sensor.
17 Switch on the Agilent 8164A/B and wait until is has booted.
18 Press Preset, the green hardkey, to set all parameters to their
default values.
19 Move to [λ], the wavelength of your Tunable Laser module, type
1550.00.
20 Move to [λ], the wavelength of your power sensor, type 1550.00.
21 Set the [P], the output power, and [Att], the attenuation, to the
value given in Table 19.
Table 19 Reference Wavelength and Power Settings
22 Note the power reading of the power sensor in the test record.

GPIB Interface Test (Optional)

You will need a controller/computer with GPIB capabilities for this
test.
1 Connect the Agilent 8163A/B Lightwave Multimeter, the
Agilent 8164A/B Lightwave Measurement System or the
Agilent 8166A/B Lightwave Multichannel system to the controller
via the GPIB.
