INTRODUCTION AND APPLICATIONS
KI23400/KI27400 UM-2

With just one button push and high accuracy, a single fiber connected
between two instruments can test & pass / fail at several wavelengths
based on: Bi-directional loss, ORL each end, and cable length.
Autotest communicates test data between instruments to automate
loss testing and share results. Test parameters are pre-configurable,
to minimise test time and skill.
Pass/fail test & reporting parameters are flexible and can match latest
standards.
These instruments supersede the functions and specifications of our
popular KI7000 series Two-Way testers.
Memory and External Software Features
There are 3 ways of saving test data and reporting:
1.
Test & Report in real time, with one click on a connected
computer. Each cable test result is shown immediately on the
KITS™
Excel pass/fail report. In this mode, instrument operation
is remotely controlled from the attached computer.
2.
R
esults can be stored in the instrument’s large non
-volatile
memory along with text-input cable name and timestamp, then
downloaded later onto a computer with the secure
KITS™
reporting software.
3.
Results can be stored in the instrument
’s
large non-volatile
memory along with text-input cable name and timestamp, and
then a csv file is exported onto a USB memory stick (or a phone
micro SD card using a suitable adaptor), via the Type A USB port,
for later analysis on
KITS™
or other software. This is a simple
and easy way to store and transmit test data from a site,
independent of any operating system or software.
KITS™
Excel reporting software allows interactive instrument control
and data download. Real time display, data logging and unformatted
data dumps are also included. In addition to two-way testing,
KITS™
enables merging of test results from multiple one-way instruments and
so supports bi-directional testing for one-way equipment using
successive measurements.
Test data security is applied to all input and output data files, and
KITS™
is designed to prevent data tampering when in Secure Data
mode. This balances the conflicting requirements of data security, and
user flexibility. Retained original data files can be accessed later as an
audit function.
The
KITS™
software data logging feature updates the data file
continuously, so that in the event of a power cut or other computer
malfunction, the acquired test data is secured. This is essential for
long term integrity or environmental testing, for example.
Autotest Two-Way Loss, ORL & Length
This mode is the easiest, fastest and most complete test method for
most applications. It requires a pair of instruments to operate.
