EXFO IQS-12004B DWDM Passive Component Test System for IQS-500 - Manual (Page 38)

Getting Started with Your DWDM Passive Component Test System
26 IQS-12004B
Installing Hardware Components
To work with the MultiPath Testing Option, you will have to add a switch to
your standard IQS-12004B DWDM Passive Component Test System to
benefit from its inherent features.
The minimum hardware components required for multipath testing are:
³
Tunable laser source (IQS-2600B or IQS-2600CT).
³
Wavelength reference module (IQS-9401).
³
Power meter (IQS-1643T), one or more.
³
Switch (either the IQS-9100, or a GPIB-controlled switch. Check with
EXFO to see if a specific model is supported.).
Regardless of whether you will be using an EXFO switch or any of the
supported switches, the connection of the switch in the system will remain
the same.
The switch has to be connected to the Wavelength Reference Module ()
and to the power meters. Use the supplied to link the Out port of the WRM
to the common port of the switch. Connect the DUT(s) between the power
meter and the switch.

AUTION
Never insert or remove a module while the controller or expansion
unit is turned on. This will result in immediate and irreparable
damage to both the module and unit.
