OLP-5, OLP-6, OLP-8 4-34.2 Connection configurationHow you configure the connection between theOLP and device under test (DUT) depends on themeasurement at hand. With optical powermeasurements, there are two basic tasks:• System power level measurement• Attenuation measurement4.2.1 System power levelmeasurementIn system power level measurements, theabsolute power level is measured in dBm.System levels can be measured at the transmitteroutput Tx or before the receiver input Rx, forexample.Fig. 4-2 System power level measurementTrans-ceiverRxTx
