This unit
The Ando AQ8201-03 is a Display Controller Module for the AQ8200 Series Optical Test and Measurement System. It interfaces with AQ8201A and compatible mainframes to deliver a consolidated user interface for monitoring and controlling plug-in modules used in optical fiber testing. The module displays setup and measurement data across up to 8 slots simultaneously, enabling real-time system status visualization and module-level control via rotary knob and operation switches.
Technical Specifications
Display: Graphical display format for multi-slot information presentation
Communications: GPIB (IEEE-488.2 standard) port for system integration and remote control
Operating Temperature: 5 to 40 °C
Power Requirements: Dependent on host mainframe (e.g., AQ8201A: AC 100 to 120/200 to 240 V, 50/60 Hz, maximum 400 VA)
Rack Mount: 19-inch compatible via host mainframe
Key Features
Multi-Slot Display capability for up to 8 slots with simultaneous information presentation
Direct control interface via rotary knob and operation switches
Slot-by-slot setup and measurement result visualization
GPIB connectivity for automated test sequences and remote operation
Module status monitoring across entire system at a glance
Typical Applications The AQ8201-03 serves research and development, manufacturing, and quality control environments requiring optical component and fiber characterization. Its multi-slot display architecture supports efficient test workflows where simultaneous monitoring of multiple measurement channels reduces operational overhead.
Compatibility & Integration Designed for operation with the AQ8201A mainframe and other AQ8200 Series units. The module provides control and monitoring for standard plug-in modules within the system architecture. Note: The AQ8201-03 does not control ASE (Amplified Spontaneous Emission) or RLM (Return Loss Measurement) modules. Integration with external systems is enabled through the GPIB communications interface.
