NetTek Analyzer YOPM100 & 200 Optical Power Meter Modules
Getting Started
Product Description
The PCMCIA-based YOPM100 and the YOPM200 Optical Power
Meters operate with the NetTek Analyzer platform. You can measure
all common telecommunication wavelengths from 850 nm to
1625 nm and easily save the me asurement data to document
networks. YOPM lets you store and view multiple tests in a
configurable table. This lets you match your system pa tch panel
configuration for easy recovery and analysis of measurements. You
can collect and store your measurements in a table that matches the
way your patch pa nel is laid out. You can combine YOPM stored
tests with TARGET1 analysis software to generate complete
installation and maintenance reports.

Getting Started
Installing YOPM Application
If you ordered your power meter separately from your NetTek
Analyzer, you may need to install the YOPM application onto your
NetTek Analyzer.
If your NetTek Analyzer has a floppy-disk drive, install the software
directly on the NetTek Analyzer. See Installing From the NetTek
Analyzer Built-in Floppy-disk Drive below.
If your NetTek Analyzer does not have a built-in floppy-disk drive,
download the software using the floppy drive on a PC, and then
transfer the file through the serial port to the NetTek Analyzer. See
Installing From a PC Floppy-disk Drive on page 3.
Installing From the NetTek Analyzer Built-in Floppy-disk Drive
1. Select Start > Programs > Tektronix Utilities > Module
Upgrade.
2. Insert the floppy. Select Next.
3. The dialog box, Continuing Upgrade Process, will appear stating
“Found Upgrade File: \FloppyDisk\InstallYOPM.arq.”
(If the correct file is not found, select Browse to manually select
\FloppyDisk\InstallYOPM.arq and press OK.)
4. Select Next. It will take a few moments for the files to be
extracted and installed.
When installation is complete, the dialog box, Module Upgrade
Complete, appears.
5. Remove the floppy disk.
6. Select Restart Now.

NetTek Analyzer YOPM100 & 200 Optical Power Meter Modules
Getting Started
Installing From a PC Floppy-disk Drive
Use a desktop computer with a floppy-disk drive and Windows 95,
98, NT 4.0, 2000, or ME operating system.
You will need a serial cable and an available COM port. You also
need to have active WinCE services or an ActiveSync connection to
transfer files. Enable WinCE services using the Windows CE
Services > Communications tab.
1. Connect the NetTek Analyzer to the remote PC:
a. Connect one end of a 9-pin RS-232 null modem cable (a
standard accessory with the NetTek Analyzer) to the serial
(COM) port on the PC. See your computer documentation
for the port location.
b. Connect the other end of the cable to the NetTek Analyzer
serial port. See Figure 1 for the port location.
Serial port
Figure 1: NetTek Analyzer serial port
2. Insert the floppy disk into the floppy drive on the PC.

Getting Started
3. Copy the InstallYOPM.arq fil e from the floppy disk to the
directory: \, on the the NetTek Analyzer. (The directory is called
My NetTek when viewed on the NetTek Analyzer or My
Handheld PC when viewed from the PC. It’s one level above
\BuiltInDisk on the NetTek Analyzer.)
It will take several minutes for the file to transfer.
4. On the NetTek Analyzer, select:
Start > Programs > Tektronix Utilities > Module Upgrade.
5. Select Next. The NetTek Analyzer will not be able to automati-
cally find the module software for installation.
6. Select Browse.
7. Manually select \InstallYOPM.arq and press OK.
8. Select Next. It will take a few moments for the files to be
extracted and installed.
When installation is complete, the dialog box, Module Upgrade
Complete, appears.
9. Select Restart Now.
10. Remove the floppy disk from the PC.

Installing the YOPM100 & 200 Optical Power Meters
To install the power meter, do the following:
CAUTION. Suspend or shut down the NetTek Analyzer before
installing any PC card. Failure to do so could result in loss of user
data due to a system crash.
1. Open the access door on the right side of the analyzer. See
Figure 2.
2. With the PC card label facing the analyzer display, slide the card
end of the power meter i nto the front PCMCIA slot of the NetTek
Analyzer platform as shown.
NOTE. For CE compliance, use the power meter only in the front
PCMCIA slot.

Setting the Reference Level
When performing measurements using relative logarithmic dB units,
you must set a reference power level. The default at power-on is
0.00 dBm. To set the reference power level, do the following:
1. Make sure that all connectors, adapters, and the detector window
of the optical power meter have been cl eaned thoroughly. See
page 27 for cleaning instructions.
2. Connect an appropriate reference cable be tween the light source
in use and the power meter.
3. Tap on the wavelength tab you want to reference.
4. Tap the Set Ref… button. This will display the Set Reference

SOC Adapter Removal and Installation
YOPM optical power meters are fitted with Snap-On Connect or
(SOC) interfaces. You can quickly remove the SOC adapters from
the power meter input to permit cleaning of t he detector window. See
page 27 for cleaning instructions.
Removing an SOC Adapter
26
1. Grasp the sides of the SOC adapter and pull it off the interface, as
shown above. SOC adapters require considerable force to
remove. Do not attempt to pry the adapter off the interface or
damage will result.
2. Put the adapter in a clean place.

Reference
2. With the keyway properly aligned, push the adapter over the
interface until it snaps in place, as shown above.
Cleaning
To ensure absolute measurement integrity, it is essential that all
instrument interfaces be cleaned before each use.
Cleaning the Detector Window
Use a lint-free swab and reagent-grade isopropyl alcohol to clean t he
detector window of the power meter before each use.
CAUTION. To maintain the performance of fiber optic connectors and
interfaces, clean them every time you use them.

Reference
To clean the detector window, do the following:
1. Remove the SOC adapter in accordance with the preceding
instructions.
2. Moisten the lint-free swab with reagent-grade alcohol and wipe
once across the interface.
3. Wipe once across the interface with a dry, clean, lint-free swab to
wipe away residual alcohol. Take care not to press too firmly to
avoid breaking the detector window.
4. Re-install the SOC adapter in accordance with the preceding
instructions.
Cleaning the Test Fiber Connector
Clean the test fiber connector before each use.
Dampen a lint-free swab or paper wipe with reagent-grade alcohol.
Gently wipe across the end of the fiber connector a couple of times.
Wipe across the end of the fiber connector with a dry, clean, lint-free
swab or paper wipe to remove residual alcohol.
Cleaning the Exterior of the Power Meter Test Head
CAUTION. To prevent damage to external surfaces, avoid using
chemicals that contain acetone, benzene, toluene, xylene, or similar
solvents. Do not use bleach or ammonia solutions for cleaning.
As regular maintenance, remove accumulated dirt or oily residue
from the exterior of the power meter test head with a mild detergent
and water solution. Do not immerse the power meter or use abrasive
cleaners. Use a soft cloth dampened with a solution of water and
mild detergent to clean the instrument.

Zeroing the Optical Power Meter
To obtain accurate results, you must set the noise level baseline.
1. Cover the input with a black, opaque cap, or mate it to a dark
fiber optic connector.
NOTE. The input must be completely dark or an error message will
appear during zeroing. If this happens, ensure that the input is
properly covered and try again.
2. Select Settings > Zero OPM.
Reference
3. The dialog box shown above will appear. Tap OK to continue;
zeroing will start immediately.
NOTE. When operating at the most sensitive resolution and at the
minimum resolvable power l evel, changes in the ambient temperature
may induce a c hange in the baseli ne noise level, or “zero drift.” If
there are substantial changes in the ambient temperature, stabilize
and re-zero the power meter to ensure accurate measurements.
