| OP250
- Software Interface |
| The
OP250 laser and LED sources can be controlled via USB.
The attached VB example shows how to use Visual Basic to
control the OP250. |
| |
|
OP250.DLL is
the light version of the DLL to control a single OP250
module |
| |
|
OP250M.DLL is
the library that allows to control of multiple OP250 sources. |

|
| OP508/510
- Software Support |
| The
OP508 and OP510 Fiber Optic Power Meter modules are powered
and controlled via USB. The library interface (DLL) is
described in the attached documents, some VB6 samples are
included. |

Power Meter Application for OP508/510 |
This
compact application turns your computer into an optical
power meter. It includes a data logger, graphing function
and interface to EXCEL spreadsheet for storing data points. |
OPL5
Application Self-installing application. (update
6/13/05)
This application requires a OP508/510 module connected to
the USB port and previously installed drivers. |
| OPL5
Demo This application simulates an optical power
meter and does not require a OP508/510 module connected
to the USB port. |

Pro Cable Test Solution |
The
OPL-Pro Cable Test Solution supports the uni-directional
and bi-directional measurement of insertion loss on cables
and cable assemblies. |
OPL
Pro Demo Self-installing application. (update 12/12/04)
This application requires no hardware to execute. It demonstrates
the capabilities of OPL-Pro which include setup of single,
dual, unidirectional, bidirectional measurements with pass
fail conditions for each wavelength. Measurements are time-stamped
and serialized and the data is stored in EXCEL file format
for further processing.
OPLProV2
Demo Installation Self-installing application (V2.37
update 1/19/06).
This application requires no hardware to execute. This
is the full operational version of OPLProV2 which supports
Insertion Loss (IL) and Return Loss (RL) measurements,
Template driven report writing and user configurable pass/fail
criteria.

OPLProV2 with simplified report structure (MK).
OPLProV2 for OP930
Installation
Self-installing application
This application requires an OP930 IL/RL Test Instrument.
This is the full operational, trial version of OPLProV2
which supports Insertion Loss (IL) and Return Loss (RL)
measurements, Template driven report writing and user configurable
pass/fail criteria.

Installation OPLProV2 MK Version supporting OP930 only. |
| OPL7
Data Acquisition for OP710 |
OPL7
allows the user to acquire and log power measurements
on multiple channels and store the data into a XLS or
CSV file. The sampling rate, and the graphing of
the data is configurable by the user. The application
provides a mechanism for simple power monitoring where
if a threshold is exceeded an alarm is displayed. |
OPL7
Installation Self-installing application. (update
5/16/05 3MB)
This application requires at least on OP710 connected to
the USB port of the computer. |
| OPL-LOG
Multichannel Data Acquisition |
| This
timer based data acquisition tool captures insertion loss,
return loss as well as temperature from multiple optical
power meters (up to 144 channels) and controls multiple
sources (discrete or switched). OPL-LOG's powerful sequencer
lets the user setup multiple any to any channel configurations.
All sequences are stored in EXCEL file format for easy
off-line editing and management. The resulting data is
automatically written to EXCEL files as a data repository
or for further processing. |

| OPL-Max
Multifiber Cable Test Solution |
To
measure the insertion loss and return loss on any combination
of multi-fiber optical cable OPL-Max is a versatile and
efficient solution. OPL-Max's powerful sequencer lets the
user setup multiple any to any channel configurations.
All sequences are stored in EXCEL file format for easy
off-line editing and management. The resulting data is
automatically written to EXCEL files as a data repository
or for further processing, printing of an instant test
report is supported. |

Tools |
| The
following are convenient tools that help you troubleshoot
the USB interface. |
| USBView Freeware
that scans the all the USB ports and lists what devices
are connected to the ports. It gives the VID (vendor id.
=0403) and PID (peripheral id =E758.) of the devices as
well as |
| MultiUSB This
application scans for all OptoTest products on the USB
bus and displays the model type and serial number. It also
allows to test the communication and logs transmission
errors. |
| National
Instrument Labview Support |
A
series of sample VIs have been developed to illustrate
how to access the OP-DLLs from within LabView.
