Optical Multitest Platform

Build your own Optical Test System !

The AP1000 Optical MultiTest platform is the ideal tool for measuring and evaluating a wide range of optical devices. A variety of measurement modules are available.

Optical MultiTest Platform

We offer three Optical MultiTest Platforms AP1000-X that can accept up to 2 (AP1000-2), 5 (AP1000-5), or 8 (AP1000-8) plug-in modules respectively. These Plug-in modules are automatically recognized after insertion. The user can control the equipment with the 5.7 inch sensitive screen or with a mouse and a keyboard (three USB ports are available on the front panel). An internal memory is available and measurements, grids and setups can be saved/loaded in .txt format. The user can take the control and perform data transfer with a computer through GPIB or ethernet. It is also possible to take the control of the equipment through the internet from anywhere in the world. Optionally, a trigger synchronized with the Optical Tunable Laser Sources modules can be added.
