Optical Pulse Measurement of Multi-core Optical Fiber Cables
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-core optical fiber cable 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.
List
Cores are listed. You can easily distinguish between cores that have been measured, cores
that have not been measured, and cores that do not to be measured. This list prevents you
from forgetting measurements and from making unnecessary measurements. (You can make
measurements 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.
Optical Fiber Cable Monitoring (/MNT option)
This feature performs optical pulse measurement at regular intervals so that you can monitor for errors
in the optical fiber cable. Results measured at regular intervals are saved to memory in CSV or SOR
format (waveform data). Data and folders saved in memory are automatically assigned names with
timestamps. During monitoring (while schedule measurement is in progress), measurement items,
such as the loss between two points, of the logged optical pulses are shown on the AQ7280 screen.
Because the changes in the measurement items, such as the loss between two points, can be seen
on the time axis, if an interruption occurs in the optical pulse input, you can determine when the optical
power level fell on the AQ7280 screen. After determining the time, you can view the measured results
in the file with the corresponding timestamp. Up to four measurement items can be monitored.
