Optical Test System 13
3 Installing and Connecting the
IQ-200 Hardware
The IQ-200 Optical Test System can include up to four IQ-206 Expansion
Units connected in a daisy chain with an IQ-203, allowing 27 single-slot
linked modules. Mounting all these units into a standard 19-inch
equipment rack is an efficient setup, but units can easily and safely be
stacked one on top of the other in benchtop format, as shown below:
Whether you select the benchtop or rack-mount setup for your system, you
will always be able to take full advantage of the flexibility and expansion
characteristics of the IQ-200 Optical Test System.
For additional flexibility and ease of use, you can add an external color VGA
monitor, keyboard, and mouse to the IQ-203 Control Unit. The IQ modules
are linked together by the IQ-203 interface bus.
