CheckingMappings

Tx to Rx

To check TX <-> RX mappings, do:
SctGui -> Tools -> Launch SctApiGUI -> autoConfigurer -> preform scan
Look for any entries in the last column, which indicate problems.

Power supply to Rx

To check an individual module, go to the probe view and hard reset that module.

To check all modules in a view

SctGui -> Select Display -> Probe View
Right Click -> Actions -> DCS mapping scan

The output to the command line should notify you of any modules which dont receive hard reset as expected.

Tx to Module

Do a threshold scan (e.g. via 3 point gain) and look at VT50 RMS. If VT50 RMS is high, then check the raw data to see if the module is trimmed (i.e. check the thresholds are uniform across the module). If it is not trimmed, a different module to the one you think is at the end of the Tx Fibre!
