The Micron Optics sm041 Channel
Multiplexer adds sensor and optical-fiber-connection capacity
to the sm125-500 Optical Sensor
Interrogator.
There are two basic types of sm041.
First is the switch-type (sm041-416 and -408). Robust optical
switches can be programed to alternate between multiple
banks of sensors. This boosts capacity of the sm125-500
Optical Sensor Interrogator to up to 16 fibers and more
than 2000 sensors.
The second type of sm041 Channel
Multiplexer is the coupler-type (sm041-016 and -008). Coupler-type
extensions provide a tidy way to connect up to four optical
fibers to a single optical channel on the sm125-500
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
sm041.
