OpticalParameterValue

  • Base type Integer32
  • Range -1000000 — 1000000

The value of the optical parameter that is being monitored. The range of values varies depending on the type of optical parameter being monitored, as identified by a corresponding object with syntax OpticalParameterType. When the optical parameter being monitored is 'power' or 'acPower', the supported range is from -400 to 250, in 1/10ths of dBm. Example: A value of -300 represents a power level of -30.0 dBm. When the optical parameter being monitored is 'laserTemp' or 'ambientTemp', the supported range is from -500 to 850, in 1/10ths of degrees centigrade. Example: A value of 235 represents a temperature reading of 23.5 degrees C. When the optical parameter being monitored is 'biasCurrent', the supported range is from 0 to 10000, in 100s of microamperes. Example: A value of 500 represents a bias current reading of 50,000 microamperes. When the optical parameter being monitored is 'peltierCurrent', the supported range is from -10000 to 10000, in milliamperes. When the optical parameter being monitored is 'xcvrVoltage', the supported range is from 0 to 10000, in millivolts. The distinguished value of '-1000000' indicates that the object has not yet been initialized or does not apply.
