Using the EXFO Getting Started Applications

On the Front Panel, you can set communication parameters between the
IQS controller unit and the current instrument. It also offers various
controls and buttons to use the instrument easily. In fact, the application
performs the necessary calls to the instrument’s drivers so it is transparent
to the user.

The application state (called State Machine) changes whenever an action
is performed on the instrument. If you toggle to Block Diagram view, you
can see the list of possible states. The application is always in one of the
predefined states.
