Frequently Asked Questions
- What does the Anritsu MS9703B measure and what is its wavelength range?
- The MS9703B is an optical spectrum analyzer designed to measure and characterize optical signals across the C-band and L-band telecommunications windows. It covers a wavelength range of 1250 nm to 1650 nm with a dynamic range of 60 dB, making it suitable for fiber-optic network testing, DWDM system validation, and optical component characterization. This instrument provides real-time spectral analysis critical for telecom infrastructure deployment and maintenance.
- What is the condition of this used MS9703B, and what testing was performed?
- This Anritsu MS9703B is offered in used condition and has been inventoried as part of our standard receiving procedures. We verify core functionality before listing; however, we recommend independent calibration or factory verification if measurement traceability to NIST standards is required for your application. A full calibration service is available separately to ensure certified accuracy.
- What does calibration cover for the MS9703B, and what is the cost?
- Calibration service for the MS9703B covers wavelength accuracy and power measurement verification across the 1250–1650 nm range, bringing the instrument into compliance with factory specifications. Our calibration service is available separately starting at $450, and we can provide turnaround estimates upon request. This service includes a calibration certificate documenting traceability and performance metrics.
- What interfaces and connectivity options does the MS9703B have?
- The Anritsu MS9703B supports GPIB (IEEE 488) for remote instrument control and integration into automated test systems. This interface enables communication with test software, data logging systems, and network analyzers commonly used in optical laboratories and manufacturing environments. Consult the instrument's user manual or contact us for details on specific driver compatibility with your software platform.
