Used AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8153A #9068298 for sale

AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8153A is a benchtop resolution digital lightwave test equipment designed for single-mode fiber applications. This highly versatile test system features fast, accurate and repeatable measurements, including insertion loss, return loss, timing jitter, bandwidth, chromatic dispersion, power, and bandwidth range. HP 8153A is powered by an embedded computer to control device functions as well as to generate test patterns and display results. This unit includes a built-in programmable display that provides easy-to-read results for rapid analysis. The machine includes three interfaces—USB, GPIB, and EtherNet—to connect to a computer for enhanced measurement control. The USB port is used for data communication, the GPIB port is used for instrument status and control, and EtherNet ports enable LAN connections. AGILENT 8153A incorporates an easy-to-use graphical user interface that supports both remote control and local operation. Users can program a desired measurement sequence using various menu options. The Multipurpose Scheduler component also allows users to schedule routine or day-to-day tests to run in predefined time intervals. This feature provides an unlimited number of test combinations, with the user having the option to assign the exact frequency of each measurement. This tool employs two high-frequency laser sources that are adjustable in the range of 1550 to 1630 nm, and are ideal for performing wideband optical tests such as photonic WDM, single-frequency lasers, broadband ASE sources, and erbium-doped fiber amplifiers. The laser sources require no warm-up time, allowing them to attain a stable output power faster than otherwavelength-stabilized laser heads. The Modular Design feature of 8153A provides ultimate scalability. The frame is designed to accommodate two separate plug-in cards, allowing users to upgrade the asset capabilities as special measurement needs arise. At the core of the model, the Digital Signal Processing board is responsible for performing the actual optical tests. This board is capable of producing up to 13 order Stokes parameters with a margin of errors down to 1E-4 of the signal power. Overall, HEWLETT-PACKARD 8153A is a reliable, easy-to-use test equipment designed to meet the needs of today's fiber-optic testing professionals. Featuring fast and accurate measurements, intuitive user interface, and various data communication and control functions, this system is ideal for single-mode applications in a variety of industries.
