Automated Pass Fail Analysis
Luna’s Lightpath Analysis Software, in combination with our
awarding-winning Optical Backscatter Reflectometer (OBR),
is used to quickly and easily verify the physical-layer
performance characteristics of fiber optic components,
modules and cable assemblies. Lightpath Analysis Software
automates IL and RL testing and allows for rapid qualification
of individual optical components and cables in production
manufacturing and quality assurance environments.
Feature Rich Software
Using Lightpath Analysis software, users set the qualifying
parameter specifications for different components and save
them for future access. Software features include:
• “Golden Trace” capture and compare
• Automatic pass/fail visualization
• Return loss qualification vs. length
• Insertion loss qualification vs. length
• Automatic event mapping
By comparing the saved parameter tolerances with
measurements from Luna’s OBR, you can quickly verify
where the device under test passes or fails its specified test.
In no time at all, you have a simple, push-button qualification
of your optical components.
Custom Reporting
The Lightpath Analysis Software provides custom,
part-specific reports for each device under test. The
software generates and stores an ‘event map’ detailing the
type and location of each event in a fiber system and whether
or not that event passes or fails its prescribed specification.
The result is a tool that truly simplifies the process of
fiber optics assembly.
Easy configuration
Use Lightpath Analysis Software easy-to-use
configuration screen to establish measurement
tolerances as a function of length.
Easily visible pass/fail visualization
Using the top graph, you can view and analyze
measured data. The bottom graph, using the
set tolerances, automatically flags passing
(green) and failing (red) specifications.
