PON Optical Power Meter (/PPM option)
This feature measures through the OPM port the optical power of a passive optical network (PON)
for three wavelengths (1310 nm/1490 nm/1550 nm) simultaneously.
Smart Mapper Feature (application)
This feature performs multiple measurements automatically with a single operation, combines the
measured results, and maps the events that occurred on the optical fiber cable as icons. Because
a map display is used in place of a waveform display, complex line configurations can be easily
understood even by inexperienced workers. You can also automatically judge measured results by
setting thresholds. Furthermore, you can view the multiple measured waveforms which are the bases
of the map display.
Events can also be displayed as icons on the map display of the OTDR feature, but the map display
of the OTDR feature converts the analysis results of averaged measurements. If multiple measured
waveforms, which form the bases, are required, the smart mapper feature is convenient.
Multi-Fiber Measurement Feature (application)
Multi-core fiber measurement takes time and effort. This feature makes it possible to efficiently
measure multi-core optical fiber cables through a dedicated menu.
Projects
Items required to make multi-fiber measurements such as measurement conditions, analysis
conditions, and core information are managed as projects. By creating a project before a
measurement, you can measure cores under the same conditions. You can save projects to files.
You can load a previously saved project and make measurements under the same conditions. In
addition, the AQ7933 Emulation Software can be used to create projects, and the project files can
be loaded into this instrument.
List
Cores are listed on the screen. You can identify cores that have been measured, cores that have
not been measured, and cores that are not to be measured. For each core in the list, you can
perform average measurement, real-time measurement, optical power management, and fiber
inspection probe operations. This prevents unintended omission in core measurements and allows
measurements to be performed efficiently.
Saving Measured Results
Measurement results of each core are automatically saved to a folder that is automatically created
in the folder that the project file is saved in. The folder will have the same name as the project file.
Fiber Inspec Probe (application)
A YOKOGAWA-specified fiber inspection probe can be used to view stains on the optical fiber cable
end face on the instrument screen. The fiber inspection probe is not included with the instrument.
Please purchase your own fiber inspection probe. For information about compatible fiber inspection
probes, contact your nearest YOKOGAWA dealer.
Loss Test/Multi-Core Loss Test (Application)
By using two instruments, one as a light source and another as an optical power meter, the optical fiber
loss can be measured. In a multi-core loss test, the loss of a multi-core optical fiber can be measured.
As a light source, the instrument automatically switches between two wavelengths (1310 nm and 1550
nm) and outputs them.
As an optical power meter, the instrument automatically detects the wavelength of the input light,
switches its wavelength setting, and measures the optical power.
