Description
The EXFO PM-1600 High-Speed Power Meter is a powerhouse designed to streamline testing efficiency in fiber optic applications. It boasts exceptional speed thanks to its high sampling rate and rapid stabilization time, making it ideal for tasks like system monitoring and characterizing high-density WDM components. Users can choose between single or dual-detector configurations, with each channel offering independent control for maximum flexibility. Whether monitoring absolute power or relative power changes, the PM-1600 delivers precise results with a wide dynamic range. Its user-friendly interface and data storage capabilities make it a valuable tool for laboratory, qualification, and manufacturing environments. Additionally, remote control through GPIB or RS-232 interfaces allows for integration into automated test systems.
