Setting Up Hardware for Measurements

To measure PMD with the FTB-5500B Polarization Mode Dispersion
Analyzer, EXFO recommends that you use the FLS-110P Light Source or the
FLS-5800 CD/PMD Analyzer Source, which will provide you a larger
dynamic range. If you intend to use a third-party light source, see Using
Third-Party Broadband Light Sources
on page 103.

Before making acquisitions, you must prepare your hardware properly.
