This chapter introduces the FPM-8200 Fiber Optic Power Meter with an overview
description. Also included are a list of available accessories to extend the
usefulness of your meter, installation instructions, a description of the start-up
sequence, and specifications.
Product Overview
The FPM-8200 is a precision, systems-capable fiber optic power meter that
provides optical power measurement from 800 to 1600 nm. The 8200 features 75
dB of dynamic range and NIST-traceable calibration. Maximum instrument
flexibility is achieved with digital averaging, Save and Recall functions, and a
unique LED bar graph that displays relative power as a percent of full scale for
each gain range. The FPM-8200 offers standard Analog output ports and a
sophisticated GPIB/IEEE interface. Other features include:
• Average up to 100 measurements per reading for accuracy with unstable inputs
• SAVE and RECALL up to ten of your test setups
• Bargraph displays relative power for visual peaking of optical setups
• 0-10 V analog output for fine resolution relative power monitoring
