What is BS EN 61291-6-1 - Optical amplifiers interfaces about?

BS EN 61291-6-1 is an international standard that discusses the uses of i nterfaces for optical amplifiers. BS EN 61291-6-1 describes the optical amplifier command set (OACS) for use in communicating with and controlling intelligent optical amplifiers. These amplifiers receive and respond to such commands by using resident firmware and are controlled by a microprocessor. BS EN 61291-6-1 addresses the structure and content of the command set to control optical amplifiers. The specification of a physical interface is the subject of a separate part to be developed in the IEC 61291-6 series. The commands described in BS EN 61291-6-1 cover a wide range of applications, not all commands are applicable to every amplifier. Note: BS EN 61291-6-1 does not cover the physical or hardware interface which is assumed to exist for communication of this ...
