OPTICAL CONNECTIONS

The SM8000 series are all shipped with dust caps over each optical connector. These dust caps should remain in place at all times while the instrument is not in use.

Cleaning Optical Connectors

1.Clean both connectors to remove any dirt or particles, which could decrease performance or permanently damage the connector.

a)Using high-grade isopropyl alcohol (or equivalent) dampen a cotton swab and shake off any excess alcohol before cleaning. The cotton swab should be moist but not wet.

b)Gently clean the surface of the connector and around the connector ferrule.

c)Allow the connectors to dry for at least one minute.

Service should only be performed by qualified personnel.

Mating Optical Connectors

1.Smoothly insert the appropriate connector ferrule into the adapter taking caution not to allow the fiber tip to make contact with any surface. If this happens, re-clean the connector and start again.

2.Tighten the connector finger-tight; do not over-tighten. If the loss is unacceptable, remove the connector, re-clean both connectors and start again. These steps may need to be repeated several times before a low-loss connection is made.

3.After the connection is made, monitor the stability of the optical throughput for a few minutes until stable. If the loss is unacceptable, re-clean the connectors and start again.

The SM8000 is hard coded at the factory with the optical modules default address of 73 = 49h, and may be used to generate the address used in the command. This is the address of all attenuators as shipped from the factory. During the programming of the optical module, the programmer may wish to omit sending the module’s address over the VXI Bus, letting the SM8000 generate the default address that is used in the command string. This could possibly increase throughput, by decreasing VXI Bus traffic, if the modules are receiving many commands, although this is only true if the optical module’s address is not changed by the user. If the address is to be changed, IT IS IMPERATIVE THAT THE NEW ADDRESS BE WRITTEN DOWN. Failure to do so will result in an inability to control the module. All four possible modules may have the same address. The SM8000 controls them on separate internal busses COMMAND REGISTER BitsCOMMAND SET TABLE 4-2 ATTENUATOR COMMAND SETConvert decimal step number to hexadecimal Convert to HIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE formatHIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE value to hexadecimal valuePage Multiply dB value by 100 to get integer decimal Convert integer decimal to hexadecimalConvert to HIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE formatConvert hexadecimal value to an integer decimal valueDivide by 100 to convert to dB value HIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE value todecimal value for wavelength nm HIGHBYTE and LOWBYTE value tohexadecimal value Convert hexadecimal value to an integerConvert to calibration temperature Convert the HIGHBYTE to get the monthConvert the MIDBYTE to get the day Convert the LOWBYTE and add 1900 to getConvert the HIGHBYTE into the major revision numberConvert the LOWBYTE into the minor revision Put the major and minor numbers together toMultiply by 100 to convert decimal attenuation value to an integerCovert integer to hexadecimal Concatenate HIGHBYTE and LOWBYTEhard coded at the factory with the optical modules default used in the command.
