Agilent 8164B Lightwave Measurement System
The Agilent 8164B is a lightwave measurement system that supports full GPIB capability with complete access to system parameters. The unit includes PP0, DC1, DT0 and C0 functions that enhance controlled communication performance. It offers SCPI Standard support enabling consistent command structures across measurement configurations. The GPIB interface reaches 300 kB per second during burst reads of 12001 points. The system integrates a 10 slash 100BASE-T Ethernet port that provides reliable LAN connectivity. The 8164B lightwave system also includes a centronics type parallel interface for direct hardcopy output via printer. The unit provides an RS232 interface supporting a maximum baud rate of 115200 bps. The unit supports one extended module slot designed for back-loadable tunable laser sources. The mainframe includes 4 compact module slots that accommodate diverse optical measurement modules.
The Agilent 8164B measurement system enables passive component test stability and logging applications within integrated software functions. The system supports operating temperatures from +10 degrees Celsius to +35 degrees Celsius. The unit incorporates a floppy disk system enabling direct setup access and data storage operations. The integrated display offers 640×480-pixel color graphics that present outputs clearly. The 8164B includes true synchronous triggering on all channels supporting up to 100 kHz. The external digital modulation input supports a maximum frequency of 1 MHz at 50% duty. The trigger architecture ensures stable synchronization across installed modules under defined operating conditions.
The 8164B system has a power subsystem that accepts AC 100 to 240 volts at 50 slash 60 hertz. The overall consumption reaches 280 VA maximum under full configuration and sustained operational loads. The weight is 45 pounds which corresponds to approximately 20 kilograms measured precisely. The chassis supports stable airflow paths that regulate internal temperatures during extended optical testing sessions. The 8164B features durable external connectors that maintain signal integrity across all supported interface standards. The firmware architecture supports consistent operation with backward compatibility that preserves earlier module functionality requirements. The lightwave system enables remote control through interface which ensures repeatable automated measurement sequences.
The LAN interface supports remote monitoring that allows controlled access to live measurement outputs. The user interface presents organized menus that support efficient configuration across installed modules and functions.
