OPERATION

20

In the ready state, the FS22 - Industrial BraggMETER DI inter­
rogator is ready to start acquisition.

The free acquisition state enables the FS22 - Industrial BraggME­
TER DI interrogator to perform single measurements on a speci­
fied optical channel. The FS22 - Industrial BraggMETER DI inter­
rogator can be configured in terms of gain, threshold and
sampling rate. The corresponding configuration can be stored
for future reference.

The continuous acquisition state allows continuous wavelength
acquisition over all optical channels at 50, 100, 200, 500 or 1000
S/s. The FS22 - Industrial BraggMETER DI interrogator can also
display continuous OSA trace acquisition every second. For that
the sampling rate of the interrogator shall be set to 50 S/s.

The FS22 - Industrial BraggMETER DI interrogator starts on the
warming-up state that enables the settling of the operation
parameters and recall of the acquisition configuration.
