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.
