Used AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8157A #9068299 for sale

AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8157A is an electronic test equipment designed for a wide variety of applications in research, development, and production environments. It provides efficient and accurate testing of electronic devices or components. HP 8157A is a benchtop optical power meter and light source, a multifunction instrument used to measure light power and related parameters. It combines an optical power meter and a light source that functions as an optical head into one compact housing. AGILENT 8157A is designed to measure and analyze devices such as optical fiber communications systems, LANs, and sensors. It is optimized for power testing of LED, VCSEL, and Fiber Optic components as well as applying optical de-embedding. The optical power meter includes two meter types for use in research, development, or production. HEWLETT-PACKARD 8157A's "Constant-Current Meter" has a wide dynamic range (up to ~45 dBm, ~125 dBm dynamic range) and high accuracy for precision testing. The "Dynamic-Current Meter" has a wider dynamic range (up to ~125 dBm, ~550 dBm dynamic range) and has several measurement options for increased versatility. The light source offers a wide wavelength range (400-1700 nm) to optimize performance when testing individual wavelengths. 8157A also includes an autocalibration feature that lets users automatically calibrate the system before, during, or after a power measurement. This feature is optimized for both single-mode and multimode fiber applications. Autocalibration also eliminates manual re-calibration when changing light sources, helping keep test times low and providing more accurate results. KEYSIGHT 8157A is equipped with several test applications such as the AC/DC Estimation mode, which allows users to accurately measure small signals from DC up to ~50 MHz bandwidth with its trigger-capable measurements. The Pulsed Mode enables pulse characterization for LED and VCSEL applications. Its Trace Mode function provides users with voltage scope-like measurements with time stamps. AGILENT / HP / HEWLETT-PACKARD / KEYSIGHT 8157A is compatible with PC software, providing additional functionality and data recording capabilities. The instrument is also designed to be controlled and its parameters configured remotely via computer. This ties it in well with customer test automation systems. It also uses SCPI standard commands for control. HP 8157A is a rugged instrument and includes an internal temperature control system for operation in less-than-ideal environments. The instrument is housed in a 1U rack mountable enclosure for easy installation. This configuration protects against EMI and RFI. AGILENT 8157A Optical Power Meter and Light Source is an advanced, full-featured instrument for efficient and accurate optical testing. It also offers a wide range of applications for testing and troubleshooting purposes to optimize performance.
