DWDM Trunk-Switching Optical Spectrum Analysis
Help for Monitor Results window
The Monitor Results tab graphs Rx power over Time for an
EM316-OSW8 card's incoming DWDM trunks.
Prior to viewing any results it is necessary to setup and initiate
background monitoring in the
Monitor Setup tab.
The Switch Port table (top-left) shows all eight optical switch
input ports. Click on any row to display the spectrum analysis
history for the Monitor Port trunk connected to that port.
In the Detailed Results table (bottom), each row shows a
measurement time and the Rx power measured for each DWDM channel.
Channels with no signal measure -100.00 dBm
and are shown in light gray text. Measurements above -60 dBm are color-coded by channel and graphed
in the panel above the table.
