The Micro OWL™ is one of the world’s
smallest optical power meters to offer so many features, including a 0.15 dB
accuracy over its normal operating range. It is as feature-packed and
accurate as optical power meters costing hundreds of dollars more. This
combination of features, size, accuracy, and price make it a tremendous value
for the optical fiber professional.
The Micro OWL™ is a high accuracy, high
resolution, microprocessor controlled, optical power meter. It has an
small handheld case made from high impact plastic, a backlit, graphic, liquid
crystal display, and 18-key keypad for easy data entry. It can be ordered
with a integrated 850nm or 1300nm light source. The meter will operate for
over 100 hrs on a standard 9v battery and has built in auto shutdown.
The Micro OWL™ includes a built-in Fiber
Loss Wizard that helps you easily calculate the allowable loss for the fiber
runs that you will be measuring. The meter stores physical fiber
characteristics for four different locations, or links. This includes:
link name, date, fiber type, fiber length, connectors, splices, temperature, and
calculated or entered reference power values for three wavelengths. In
addition the meter will store up to 1000 measured data points with labels. Each
value includes the fiber type and link. The stored information can be
selectively viewed, edited (measured again), printed, or deleted. The
meter will print formatted reports of selected stored data directly using the
built in serial port, or all of the stored data can be downloaded to our free OWL
Reporter™ data
management and reporting software.
