Connecting the Optical Head to the Power Meter
Connecting the Optical Head to the
Power Meter
To connect the optical head to the optical head interface, use the provided
cable. Ensure that the connector key is aligned with the port’s
corresponding notch; once the key and pins are properly aligned, the
connection should be made easily.
Once you have connected the optical head to the interface and started the
application (as explained in Starting the High Performance Power Meter
Application on page 15), you should see the channel or channels (on a
multiple-channel power meter) in the data display.
If the optical head is not connected to its channel, you will notice that the
display is different and you cannot perform measurements on this channel
until you have connected the head properly.

Do not force the connector into the port if the pins do not seem to
be correctly aligned with the corresponding holes. Forcing the
connector could permanently damage the pins.
