FiberSensing announces new FS2100 | FS2200 Measurement Unit
MAIA, Portugal, 17.July.2009
FiberSensing, a leading supplier of optical fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based systems for advanced monitoring applications, today announced the release of the FS2100 | FS2200 INDUSTRIAL BraggMETER, a measurement unit specifically designed to interrogate FBG sensors in stand-alone operations.
BraggMETER
FiberSensing BraggMETER measurement units meet the growing demand and versatility needed for field deployments in Civil, Aeronautics and Energy applications. BraggMETER units employ high performance laser scanning technology and include a NIST traceable wavelength reference that provides continuous calibration to ensure system accuracy over long term operation. The high dynamic range and high output power allow high resolution to be attained even for long fiber leads and complex sensing networks in most demanding environments.
Industrial Modularity
FS2100 | FS2200 measurement units have a robust and compact design for 24/7 operation. The real-time operating system makes them the perfect measurement tool for industrial applications. Available with 1, 4, and 8 parallel optical channels and a broadband tuning range, these units allow the simultaneous interrogation of hundreds of sensors. They can also be combined with FiberSensing external multiplexing modules by using a PC, being therefore possible to further expand the FBG based sensing network without the need of extra measurement units.
Remote Control
FiberSensing Industrial BraggMETER measurement units have Ethernet interface, allowing their remote connection to any standard PC through TCP/IP. The units can be fully controlled using SCPI commands (ASCII textual strings). Using this functionality, it is possible to program an acquisition schedule that includes sleep mode for power budget optimization. The PC can then be disconnected, since the unit provides self data logging through internal memory.
Compatible with iLog
Optionally, the standard GUI application for FiberSensing's measurement units (iLog FS9100) can be installed on the remote PC. This easy-to-use software interface features built-in datalogger functions such as automated sampling, archiving and transmitting. A high-performance local database manages both multiple sensor network configurations and large datasets. Acquired data can also be exported to analysis tools through ExcelTM compatible files.
