Abstract:
A test instrument measures performance of a transponder without direct access to a line interface of the transponder. The test instrument learns parameters of internal signal conversion processes of the transponder and measures performance of the transponder based on the learned parameters.

Claim (Index 12):
A test instrument connectable to a transponder to test performance of the transponder, wherein the transponder is connectable to a fiber optic line via a line interface to send and receive optical signals via the fiber optic line, the test instrument comprising:\n an electrical interface connectable to the transponder; a hardware controller to determine signal parameters of conversion processes performed internal to the transponder; and a test pattern generator to generate, based on the signal parameters, a modified test pattern corresponding to a predetermined test pattern, and transmit the modified test pattern to the transponder via the electrical interface,\n wherein the transponder receives the modified test pattern and converts the modified test pattern to the predetermined test pattern according to the conversion processes performed internal to the transponder, and transmits the predetermined test pattern via the line interface.
