Technology
The 4000 Base Unit employs multi-tasking for the simultaneous perfor-
mance of several operations (such as acquisition, modification of param-
eters, trace analysis, printing) and several functions (for example
powermeter, OTDR measurements).
The measurement results can be stored in the internal memory (512Mb),
or on the following options:
– internal memory extension (1 Gbyte)
– plug-in media (USB memory stick)
Mechanical strength
Although it is extremely light, the housing of the 4000 Base Unit can
resist harsh environmental conditions:
– its rubber protectors give it high shock resistance
– it resists water splashes.
The modules are very simple to install, requiring only a screwdriver.
Software
The software can be easily updated from the harddisk of the PC,from
Ethernet, or from a USB stick .
