The Micron Optics' sm040 Channel Multiplexer
adds sensor and optical-fiber-connection capacity to the
si425-500 Optical Sensor Interrogator.
There are two basic types of sm040.
First is the switch-type (sm040-416 and -408). Robust
optical switches can be programed to alternate between multiple
banks of sensors. This boosts capacity of the si425-500
Optical Sensor Interrogator to up to 16 fibers and more
than 2000 sensors.
The second type of sm040 Channel
Multiplexer is the coupler-type (sm040-016 and -008).
Coupler-type extensions provide a tidy way to connect up
to four optical fibers to a single optical channel on the
si425-500 Optical Sensor Interrogator.
For many applications this can greatly simplify fiber routing
and sensor installation.
Micron Optics supplies a LabVIEW™
utility example that provides the user a path to customize
the use of the additional channels provided by the switch-type
extension. No special software is needed for the coupler-type
sm040.
