*depending on light source ** be customized
The interrogator contains a broadband light source and performs spectral analysis by means of a linear array detector and a spectrometer platform. The input channel which should be monitored can be selected through an optical switch which is integrated in the unit. The interrogator has an Ethernet interface, which allow remote control from any standard PC through the TCP/IP protocol. the configuration of alarms, frequency of measurements, data logging on an integrated SSD or others is possible by SSH.
