NRT-LVD LabView™ Drivers

NRT offers LabView™ drivers to control the NRT-PMDSs: NRT-10033A and NRT-40133A. There are two drivers in the set:

1. NRT PMDS Calibrate.vi; calibrates the PMDS to the user input transponder wavelength;
2. NRT PMDS Set PMD.vi; changes the PMDS state to the user input DGD and SOPMD values. These states can be read from a data file having a column for DGD and and a second column for SOPMD.

Integrate the PMDS with your present automated BER test set up. Create an array of PMD states (DGD, 2^nd-order PMD) to be measured. The PMDS will go to each state in order, allowing the measurement of OSNR penalty.

Alternatively, dlls can be provided for testbed automation without LabView™.

Key Benefits

• Integrates the NRT-PMDS with other LabView™ measurement drivers in an automated
  test lab
• Automatic testing of multiple, user determined, PMDS states
• No hand of holding long monotonous experiments.
• Saves time!
