How To Query Module Thresholds And Real-Time Digital Diagnostic Data Via CodingBox

Time: 2023-05-19
        CodingBox Cloud Editor is an optical transceiver coding tool independently developed by ModuleTek, supporting matched use with EzCoding software. It is lightweight and user-friendly, with functions including opening and saving coding files, transceiver programming, MSA analysis of encoded data, querying module thresholds and real-time digital diagnostic data.
        DOM parameters are critical for judging optical transceiver performance. Users can quickly query module thresholds and real-time diagnostic data through CodingBox. The operation process is as follows:
I. Preparation
        • CodingBox Cloud Editor;
        • EzCoding program (Download: http://www.sfpcodingbox.com/Download.html );
        • Optical transceiver (SFP-10G-LR used in this test)
        • Fiber patch cord (single-mode fiber)
        • Computer
II. Operation Steps
        1. Build Test Environment
        • Connect CodingBox to the computer with a USB cable. Under normal connection, the top-left indicator turns green and shows number 1.
        • Insert the SFP-10G-LR module into the SFP port of CodingBox, and connect the TX and RX ends of the module with single-mode fiber.

        2. Run EzCoding Software
        • When no module is inserted, the left TextBoard turns blue and displays NONE.
        • After inserting the module, TextBoard turns green and recognizes the module type as SFP automatically. WorkType defaults to SFP mode.

        3. DOM reading interface Instructions
        This interface is only displayed when a module is connected.
        • Module threshold limits: Automatically display the threshold ranges of temperature, voltage, bias current, transmit optical power and receive optical power according to the A2LOW area data of the module.
        • Real-time DDM data: Sequence Read is enabled by default to obtain continuous DOM real-time values. You can uncheck continuous reading and click Read DOM to get single DOM data. Optical power defaults to uW, and can be switched to dBm by checking Unit dBm.
