DDM diagnostics
The DDM screen shows a transceiver's Digital Diagnostic Monitoring in real time: temperature, supply voltage, laser bias current and optical power per channel.
What it displays
- Live values for each monitored parameter, updated on a configurable polling interval.
- Alarm and Warning thresholds drawn directly on the charts, so you can see how
close a value is to its limit.
- Per-channel power for multi-channel modules (for example QSFP).
Logging and export
Measurements are logged over time and can be exported to CSV for reporting or offline analysis.
Reading the charts
| Marker | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Value line | The current measurement over time |
| Warning band | Between warning and alarm thresholds |
| Alarm band | Beyond the alarm threshold |
For the meaning of each parameter, see DDM basics in the optics reference.
