• Event Analysis
Events are automatically detected. In addition, you can edit events. Adjustments can be made
when certain events cannot be detected or when noise is detected as events.
USB Feature
Connecting USB Storage Devices, Communication Dongles, and Fiber Inspection
Probes (Type A)
USB storage devices complying with USB1.0/1.1/2.0 can be used. Up to two devices can be
connected. You can save waveform data and measurement conditions to USB memory devices.
By using a communication dongle (LAN, WLAN), you can remotely control the instrument over a
network and transfer measured waveform data to an external server. You can connect a probe that
is used in Fiber Inspec Probe, which is an application of this instrument. For the recommended
communication dongles that can be used with this instrument, contact your nearest YOKOGAWA
dealer.
Connecting to a PC (Type C)
The instrument can be accessed as a mass storage device from a PC, and the files and folders
in the internal memory can be displayed and manipulated. You can also connect a PC to the
instrument and control it using communication commands. For details, see the communication
interface user’s manual, IM AQ1210-17EN.
Utility Features (simultaneous use of multiple functions)
On the OTDR screen, you can call up optical power meter, visible light source, and other features and
measure optical power and the like simultaneously with the OTDR measurement. In a measurement
that takes a certain time to complete such as in an OTDR averaged measurement, measurement of
other fibers can be executed simultaneously to effectively use the measurement wait time and improve
work efficiency.
Light Source Feature (utility)
Stabilized Light Source
This is used as a light source for measuring optical loss or as a light source for optical fiber
identification. The measurement light (CW, CHOP) is emitted from the OTDR port. The wavelength
of the measurement light is the same as that of the optical pulse of the OTDR.
Visible Light Source (/VLS option)
This is used to view the fault locations or check the cores of multi-core optical fiber cables. The VLS
port transmits a visible light (CW, CHOP (2Hz)) with an emission wavelength of 650 nm.
Fiber in Use Alarm (utility)
Power Checker (/PC option)
The OTDR port enables you to check the presence of communication light (fiber in use) within the
optical fiber cable under measurement and view its power value.
Optical Power Meter Feature (utility)
Standard Optical Power Meter (/SPM option)
This feature is used to measure through the OPM port the optical power for loss measurement or
the optical power of a communication device. This is also used as an optical power meter for the
Auto Loss Test, which is an application of this instrument.
High Power Optical Power Meter (/HPM option)
This feature measures through the OPM port the high power (+27 dBm max.) optical power for
loss measurement. This is also used as an optical power meter for the Auto Loss Test, which is an
application of this instrument.
