Installing Hardware Components

To work in high-power mode, you will have to add a switch and an EDFA
to your standard IQS-12004B DWDM Passive Component Test System.

The minimum hardware components required for multipath testing in high
mode 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

The KPS-AMP-C-20 fiber amplifier (EDFA).

³

A high-power GPIB-controlled switch.

I

MPORTANT

In order to be able to control the EDFA, the GPIB address of the
EDFA must be smaller
than the GPIB address used for the switch.

C

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.
