- New high frequency dynamic unit coming soon!
August,2011
Micron Optics are shortly to add to their already impressive list of units with the sm690. Some more details are below, but make sure you’re signed up to our newsletter for the very latest on this exciting development.
a) The instrument will have four parallel channels each with sampling rate of 2MHz. Each channel will have the capacity for one FBG sensor.
b) The FBG sensors will have ~1nm BW and will be centred near 1550nm.
c) The instrument will operate from 2MHz to DC. The user will be able to interleave and/or average data to achieve the data rate desired either using the MOI-supplied interface or by modifying this in LabVIEW.
d) The duration of measurement is not limited by the sm690, only by the data storage capacity available in the customer's PXIe system or network.
