EXFO Photonic Solutions Div. IQS-1500 - Manual (Page 3)

The IQS-1500’s Windows-compatible, highly intuitive GUI allows easy control via mouse, touchscreen or keyboard. Also, it lets you save multiple
user configurations and access the instrument’s online user guide.
Calibration Mode
IQS-1500
A Start
Allows the user to select the calibration mode, start a new calibration
sequence with template file or view a report file.
B Information
Allows the user to enter general and specific information about current
measurement conditions. This information will be included in the
calibration summary.
C General
Contains user and module information currently used to perform
calibration.
D Conditions
Contains all the information pertaining to the conditions at which the
calibration is performed: source wavelength, power and bandwidth,
temperature and humidity.
E Device under Test (DUT)
Contains all the information pertaining to the DUT under calibration.
F Uncertainties
Allows the user to enter specific information pertaining to the
calculation of the calibration uncertainty.
G Null
Allows the user to eliminate electronic offsets and dark currents to
ensure accuracy.
H Calibration
Allows the user to perform calibration measurements and calculation.
I Ref. Meter Measurement
This auto-save function allows the user to select the number of
measurements and the intervals between readings for automated
measurements on the reference power meter (IQS-1500).
J DUT Measurements
Allows the user to enter DUT power measurements.
K Summary
Displays complete calibration results, including mean power, calibration
factor and total uncertainty.
L Detailed calibration reports
Generates detailed calibration reports that include instrumentation
identification, environmental information, reference conditions and
a calibration summary for each wavelength.
