SR4 Transceiver Test
In this example, there are four separate fibers, carrying one signal per fiber. Attenuators in each
fiber are used to set the relative optical modulation amplitude with respect to the lane under
test. The calibrated stressed eye signal is connected to the lane under test.
BER measurement during the Jitter Tolereance test sweep can either be read from the device
under test or optionally looped back to the BERT for fully automated JTOL testing.
