USB Power Meter

The OP510 was specifically designed for applications where cost effective solutions for measuring, monitoring and logging of insertion loss or power fluctuations are needed. The OP510 is a small (4”x2”x1.25”) desk friendly module designed such that minimal movement and bending of the reference- and test cables is necessary. This results in stable, accurate and repeatable measurements.

A unique feature of the OP510 is the 16 position bargraph that displays the user the approximate power absolute or relative power level. The TEST button on the module allows the user to the reference function or to trigger a computer based measurement.

The OP510 is offered with various detectors with the commonly used 5/8” adapter system or fixed optical interfaces. These options cover wide variety of applications.

The USB powered module connects directly to the computer. OptoTest provides for drivers and applications allowing the user to perform common measurement tasks such as EXCEL compatible data logging or time-stamped stability measurements.

High precision fiber optic power measurement

• Extended optical power measurement range, depending on the selected detector +10dBm..-80dBm for InGaAs detector, +6dBm..-75dBm for Silicon detector.
• Wide wavelength range 830nm ... 1700nm (InGaAs), 580nm ... 1080nm (Si).
• Great measurement resolution of 0.001 dB
• Tight linearity specifications: +/- 0.05dB
• Selectable sample rate selected by application : 1 sample/sec .. 100 samples/sec
• Integrated ambient temperature tracking
• Pass / Fail display with user defined limits
• Turnkey measurement solutions

USB powered, plug and play data acquisition

The OP508 is a bus powered, lower power (<100mA) USB device. With the supplied drivers data can be transferred to and from the module at 0.2Mb/s.or per IEC specifications

The OP510 measures the ambient temperature (C or F) within -10C ...+55C at a resolution of 0.1C. This feature eliminates the needs for an external temperature sensor during long-term stability testing.
