Agilent / HP / Keysight 8153A
8153A LIGHTWAVE MULTIMETER MAINFRAME
Description
This unit is a dual channel, flexible, multi-purpose tool, which measure all basic fiber optic parameters.
This lightwave multimeter mainframe offers two slots for plug in modules.
Since modules can be combined in any combination, the instrument can be used as a 1/2 channel power meter, as a 1/2 channel light source, as a loss test set, or even as a return-loss test set.
This has built in application software also means you can perform complex measurements with only a few keystrokes.
Key Points
User-exchangeable plug-in modules for tailor-made measurements
Traceable to NIST and PTB for accurate absolute power measurements
Installed application software for standard measurements without external controller
Dump to printer and dump to plotter for easy documentation
Measurement of absolute power, insertion loss, and return loss
