Introduction Welcom e

Welcome

The Optical Signal plug-in is a waveform creation application that is used to create various kinds of
waveforms and modulation schemes to test the communication paths between optical components.

The Optical Signals are typically output via an AWG connected to an optical module, converting the
electrical signal to an optical signal. The optical signal is then transmitted to a Devise Under Test (DUT).

The Optical Signal plug-in is designed to integrate and operate seamlessly as an enhancement to the
SourceXpress waveform creation software application or to an AWG70000A series arbitrary waveform
generator

Once installed, the plug-in becomes available as another waveform plug-in application.

This illustration shows the Optical Signal plug-in v iewed from the SourceXpress application. The plug-in
is identical whether it is used from SourceXpress or from an AWG70000A series instrument.

Introduction Key features

Key features

Allows users to create waveforms for either single or dual polarization.

Along with commonly used modulations like QAM and PAM, users can also define their own
modulation scheme.

Users have the option to use a single data source for the carrier or use multiple data sources.
