3 Set the menu parameters to the values shown in Table Table 5.
For Agilent 81480A, Agilent 81680A, Agilent 81640A,
Agilent 81682A, and Agilent 81642A tunable lase modules:
Set <Power Mode> to <Manual Att>.
4 Set the wavelength and power for each Tunable Laser module to the
values given in Table Table 12.
NOTE • If you use the Agilent 81480A Output 2, or Agilent 81680A Output 2,
without attenuation, refer to the table “Power Linearity Output 2,
High Power Upper Power Levels” on page 120.
• If you use the Agilent 81640A Output 2 without attenuation, use the
table “Power Linearity Output 2, High Power Upper Power Levels”
on page 134.
• If you use the Agilent 81682A #003 without attenuation, use the
table “Power Linearity 81682A #003 Upper Power Levels” on
page 148.
• If you use the Agilent 81642A #003 without attenuation, use the
table “Power Linearity 81642A #003 Upper Power Levels” on
page 160.
5 Perform the steps 5 to 16 of the “Power Linearity - Low Power Test”
on page 71.
