Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the Ando AQ6312B measure and what is its wavelength range?
- The AQ6312B is a full-range optical spectrum analyzer that measures spectral power distribution across the 600 nm to 1700 nm wavelength range, covering visible through near-infrared applications. With a spectral resolution of 0.1 nm and wavelength accuracy of ±0.3 nm, this instrument delivers precise optical signal characterization for fiber optics testing, laser qualification, and dense wavelength-division multiplexing (DWDM) channel analysis. The wide dynamic range enables measurement of both strong and weak spectral components in a single acquisition.
- What is the condition of this used Ando AQ6312B, and what has been verified?
- This unit is listed in used condition and has been functionally verified before offering. We inspect all optical spectrum analyzers for display clarity, measurement repeatability, and mechanical integrity before listing to ensure the instrument meets basic operational standards. Each unit's actual wear, cosmetic condition, and full service history are documented in our detailed product listing.
- Is calibration available for the AQ6312B, and what does it cost?
- Yes, professional calibration is available separately for the AQ6312B at a starting price of $450. Ando optical spectrum analyzers require periodic NIST-traceable calibration to maintain wavelength accuracy and ensure compliance with measurement standards in regulated environments. Turnaround time and specific scope of calibration can be provided upon request when you select this service option.
- What interfaces and connectivity options does the AQ6312B support?
- The AQ6312B supports GPIB (IEEE-488) remote control and programming, allowing integration into automated test systems and laboratory networks. Compatible control software and drivers for this interface enable data logging, spectral analysis, and instrument automation through standard industry protocols. Specific driver availability and software compatibility should be confirmed with your operating environment during purchase.
