Quick Confidence Check
Quick Confidence Check
This procedure verifies the basic functionality of the lightwave receiver. The
following equipment is used:
•Agilent 83434A lightwave receiver
•Pattern generator
•Clock source
•Optical oscilloscope
•Optical source
1Turn on the Agilent 83434A and let it warm up for 30 minutes.
2Connect the output of the optical source (1300–1600 nm, ≥ –16 dBm,
modulated at 9953.28 Mb/s or, for option 106, 10664.23 Mb/s) to the OPTICAL
INPUT of the Agilent 83434A. The INPUT PRESENT LED should turn on.
3Connect the CLOCK OUT and DATA OUT of the Agilent83434A to the input of an
oscilloscope.
4Check for clock and data waveforms.
Note
Before starting be sure to clean all connectors and optical interfaces using the proce-
dures describe in “Fiber-Optic Connectors” on page3-8.
