Setting Up the Instrument in EDFA Mode

FTB-5240S/S-P/BP

You can set up your unit in different manners depending on your testing
needs.

The preferred way is to use the complete analysis setup parameters
and complete the information in all tables, as explained in Setting Up
EDFA Analysis Parameters
on page 215.
This setup will be used for the
next acquisition.

The most efficient way to setup the instrument is to use one of the
favorites configurations, uploading a pre-customized acquisition and
analysis setup configuration. The operator in the field only has to press
the

button, select the appropriate configuration and press Start. As

an example, a pre-customized configuration could be: “32 channels
DWDM 50GHz”; “Toronto-Montreal CWDM” or “Vendor ABC DWDM
ROADM 40Gb”. This is explained in Managing Favorites on page 250.

You can also import the setup from the current trace. This method will
take the data and channel information from the current trace and
apply them in the corresponding tabs. For more information, see
Setting Up EDFA Analysis Parameters on page 215.
