Hardware: Optical Vector Analyzer - External Laser
Problem: I have an OVA with an external laser that I recently set-up. However, it is not working properly. How do I get it up and running?
Solution: Listed below are a few items to check and verify that, if not completed, will prevent the system from working.
Check to see that the following is correct:
- The button that turns the laser power on has been pressed. For example, on an Agilent laser, the green light must be showing.
- All cables are connected.
- The GPIB cable is connected from the computer to the laser.
- Verify that the right address is set up for the GPIB. It should be GPIB0.
- The BNC cable is connected to trigger out. This is the start trigger, and without it you cannot acquire a signal.
- The fiber from the laser to aux input on OVA is connected.
- Use an optical power meter and verify that that power to OVA is at least 1mW, if not, call us.
