Optical Multitest Platform
Build your own Optical Test System
Our Optical Multitest Platform is the ideal tool for measuring and evaluating a wide range of optical devices. A variety of measurement modules are available.
AP1000 Mainframe Controllers and Extension
The AP1000 Series Optical MultiTest Platform offers three mainframe controllers and one extension mainframe, accepting 2, 5, 8, and 12 optical test plug-in modules, respectively.
The plug-in modules are automatically recognized upon connection within a mainframe.
Users can control the equipment directly with the 5.7 inch touchscreen, with a mouse and a keyboard (three USB ports are available on the front panel), or remotely through Ethernet or GPIB. An internal memory is available and measurements, grids and setups can be saved/loaded in .txt format.
Optionally, a trigger synchronized with the Optical Tunable Laser Sources modules can be added.
