N1000A
86100D
86100D Mode:
Standard

The N1030B is a dual-channel optical mini module that occupies one of the four module slots on the DCA-X mainframe.

An N1030A with a serial number ≥ US62100101 requires FlexDCA firmware version A.06.90 or later.

For N1030A modules with a serial number < US62100101 The minimum required firmware version is A.06.55 (FlexDCA) for both the N1000A and 86100D.

The maximum optical input power is 8 mW.

Option IRC

Option IRC provides optical channel System Impulse Response Correction (SIRC) measurement and data files. These files provide an ideal channel response. SIRC data can be applied in the System Impulse Response Correction dialog. The SIRC correction data feature is a digital filter that is used to:

  • Improve the response of module reference filters to more closely match an ideal receiver.
  • Enable non-standard reference receiver rates or bandwidths.
  • Increase the bandwidth of the channel by up to 50%.
  • Ensures that an eye diagram will look identical between different modules.

SIRC correction data is unique to a specific module (serial number). Option IRC ships standard with every module and does not need to be purchased.
