1 Connect the patch cord for the normalization between the
optical ports of the PDLA (which may include switch
connections).
2 Check the connections with the Real Time Port Monitor. Refer to
"Real-Time Port Monitor" on page
1 On the front panel, press Quick Setup.
2 Select port configuration, if switch is installed.
3 Select laser for desired wavelengths if more than one TLS is
attached. The TLS Output 2 is standard and usually
recommended but the low-SSE Output 1 can be configured if
needed.
4 Choose which attributes to measure. Select stepped or swept
mode.
5 If desired, select advanced features: Six Polarization States,
generation of matrix data, or use of external power meters if
Option #400 is installed.
6 Set the measurement wavelength range.
7 Set the resolution slider (lowest to highest resolution).
8 Set the Sensitivity Slider (low to high sensitivity) considering
that higher sensitivity requires more time.
9 Check the box for Drift Correction when measuring the
DGD/PDL of long fibers.
10 Begin the Normalization
1 Connect the DUT.
2 Begin the Measurement.
3 View the data and manipulate the display and markers.
4 Smooth or curve fit the data as desired.
5 Save the measurement and/or export the data.
