Frequently Asked Questions
- What wavelength range and key specifications does the Ando AQ6310C cover?
- The AQ6310C is a high-resolution optical spectrum analyzer that operates across 400 to 1750 nm, making it suitable for visible, near-infrared, and mid-infrared applications. It delivers excellent dynamic range and fast response time, enabling precise measurement of optical component performance, laser line tuning, and broadband signal characterization in telecom and photonics research environments. The wide spectral window supports both narrow-linewidth laser analysis and broadband source evaluation.
- What is the condition of this used AQ6310C, and what was verified before listing?
- We list this unit as used, meaning it has prior operational history but retains full functionality. Before offering it for sale, we verify core measurement performance including wavelength accuracy, optical power detection, and baseline frequency response across the 400–1750 nm range. A separate calibration service is available starting at $450 if you require a fresh certificate of conformance to original factory specifications.
- Is calibration available for the AQ6310C, and what does it include?
- Yes—we offer calibration services for the AQ6310C starting at $450, which can be arranged separately from your equipment purchase. A full calibration verifies wavelength accuracy, optical power measurements, and frequency response against traceable standards, and includes a new calibration certificate. Turnaround time and detailed scope are provided upon quote; contact our team for scheduling.
- What interfaces and connectivity options does the Ando AQ6310C provide?
- The AQ6310C features GPIB (IEEE-488) and USB connectivity for remote control and data transfer to host computers and test automation systems. It is compatible with Ando's proprietary software suite and supports standard SCPI command set for integration into third-party measurement frameworks. Driver support and software availability depend on your operating system; we recommend confirming software compatibility with your specific IT environment before purchase.
