Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the Anritsu MS96A measure and what wavelength range does it cover?
- The Anritsu MS96A is an optical spectrum analyzer designed to measure and analyze optical signals across wavelength division multiplexed (WDM) systems. It operates across a wavelength range of 0.6 µm to 1.75 µm (600 nm to 1750 nm) with a resolution of 0.1 nm, making it suitable for characterizing DWDM and CWDM channels, monitoring signal power, and detecting spectral anomalies in fiber-optic networks.
- What is the condition of this used Anritsu MS96A, and what has been verified?
- This MS96A unit is offered in used condition and has been inspected and cataloged by our team at Aumictech. We verify functional operation and mechanical integrity before listing; however, we recommend obtaining calibration certification if traceability to NIST standards is required for your application.
- Is calibration available for the MS96A, and what is the cost?
- Yes, calibration services are available separately for this instrument, starting at $450. Calibration typically covers the wavelength accuracy and optical power measurement functions across the MS96A's operating range and provides traceable certification for metrology-critical applications.
- What interfaces and connectivity options does the MS96A have?
- The Anritsu MS96A features GPIB (IEEE 488) connectivity for remote instrument control and data acquisition, enabling integration into automated test systems and software environments. We recommend verifying driver availability and software compatibility with your current test platform before purchase.
Anritsu MS96A — Repair & Calibration Service
Aumictech offers NIST-traceable calibration and repair for the Anritsu MS96A. Calibration covers wavelength accuracy at 850, 1310, 1550, and 1625 nm, power level accuracy, resolution bandwidth (RBW) accuracy, and dynamic range verification. All calibrations ship with a NIST-traceable certificate. Turnaround is typically 1–3 business days after receipt.
Common Anritsu MS96A faults: wavelength motor failure, internal light source dimming, detector sensitivity loss. Common repairs include wavelength motor servicing, internal broadband source replacement, and detector recalibration after extended use.
