We recommend you backup your LCA data regularly.
Please refer to the User's Guide for information on the files to backup.
Always use patchcords to connect to your DUT. This protects the
connectors of the optical test set, by minimizing the number of
connector changes.
The contact connector on the optical test set is angled. If you are
using a patchcord with straight (red) and angled (green) connectors,
make sure you connect the angled connector to the optical test set.
Connecting to the optical test set with a straight connector will
damage it.
Before you connect any fiber-optic cable to the Lightwave
Component Analyzer, please ensure it has been properly cleaned.
Fiber-optic connectors are easily damaged when connected to dirty
or damaged cables and accessories. When you use improper
cleaning and handling techniques, you risk expensive instrument
repairs, damaged cables, and compromised measurements.
