Number of Fibers or Tapes
Set the number of fibers or tapes in the following range.
Tape No
Number of Fibers or Tapes
OFF
10 to 100 fibers (10 cores)
8 to 96 fibers (8 cores)
a-b (2)
10 to 50 tapes
1 to 50 tapes
a-c (3)
10 to 33 tapes
1 to 33 tapes
a-d (4)
10 to 25 tapes
1 to 25 tapes
a-e (5)
10 to 20 tapes
1 to 20 tapes
a-f (6)
10 to 16 tapes
1 to 16 tapes
a-g (7)
10 to 14 tapes
1 to 14 tapes
a-h (8)
10 to 12 tapes
1 to 12 tapes
You can set the number of fibers in steps of 8 when the number of fibers in each division is set to “8
cores” and in steps of 10 when the number of fibers in each division is set to “10 cores.”
Example: When the number of fibers in each division is set to “8 cores,” even if you set the number
of fibers to 12, it will be set to 16.
Tape No
Set the tape number to one of the following options.
OFF, a-b (2), a-c (3), a-d (4), a-e (5), a-f (6), a-g (7), a-h (8)
Setting the Number of Fibers in Each Division
When Tape No is set to OFF, you can set the number of columns shown on the main view screen.
If you will set the number of fibers to 97 or higher, first set Num of Units to 10 cores.
8 cores
8 columns
10 cores
10 columns
Setting the File Name Type
Set the file name type for measurement result files (.SOR extension) to one of the following options.
• WL + No.
• No. + WL
• Project Name + WL + No.
• No. + Project Name + WL
• WL + Project Name + No.
Wavelength 1, Wavelength 2, and Wavelength 3
To measure using multiple wavelengths, set “Wavelength 2” and “Wavelength 3” in addition to
“Wavelength 1.” You can only select the wavelengths that can be emitted from each port.
• On the AQ1200B, “Wavelength 1” is fixed at 1625 nm.
• On the AQ1200C, “Wavelength 1” is fixed at 1650 nm.
• If you set “Wavelength 1” to 1625 nm or 1650 nm on the AQ1200E, AQ1205E, or AQ1205F, you
cannot set “Wavelength 2” or “Wavelength 3” to 1310 nm or 1550 nm, which are emitted from a
different output port.
