IM AQ1100-01EN
Explanation
You can create a new project. You can measure optical loss with models with -SPM or -HPM suffix
codes.
Creating a New Project
Only the master can create a new project. You can specify the following project information.
Project Name
You can set the name using up to 30 characters.
Starting Core Number
You can set the starting core number to a value within the following range.
1 to 9900
Tape Number Type
Off, a-b(2), a-c(3), a-d(4), a-e(5), a-f(6), a-g(7), a-h(8)
Number of Fibers or Tapes
You can set the number of fibers or tapes to a value within one of the following ranges.
Tape Number Type
Number of Fibers or Tapes
Off
10 to 100 fibers
a-b(2)
10 to 50 tapes
a-c(3)
10 to 33 tapes
a-d(4)
10 to 25 tapes
a-e(5)
10 to 20 tapes
a-f(6)
10 to 16 tapes
a-g(7)
10 to 14 tapes
a-h(8)
10 to 12 tapes
Measurement Light Wavelength
There are three instrument types, with the measurement light wavelengths listed below. Select a
wavelength from the available settings on this instrument that you are using.
Model
Measurement Light Wavelength
AQ1100A
SM 1310 nm, SM 1550 nm
AQ1100B
SM 1310 nm, SM 1550 nm, SM 1625 nm
AQ1100D
GI 850 nm, GI 1300 nm, SM 1310 nm, SM 1550 nm
• The light for single mode (SM) optical fiber is emitted from optical port 2. The light for graded-
index (GI) multi-mode optical fiber is emitted from optical port 3. Firmly connect the optical fiber
to the port from which the light with the selected wavelength will be transmitted.
• You can specify up to three wavelengths in this instrument setup screen.
• This instrument cannot produce SM and GI wavelengths at the same time.
Offset
See “Explanation” in section 3.2.
Skipping
If you specify Skip for a core number that you don’t need to measure, its data will not be saved. By
setting which cores to skip beforehand, you can avoid accidentally saving unnecessary data.
Saving Project Information
You can save project information to a file. For the procedure for saving project information to a file, see
section 9.2. You can load saved files to both the master and the slave (see section 7.2).
