Optical Switch 1
1 Introducing the IQS-9100
Optical Switch
Main Features
The IQS-9100 Optical Switch provides fiber-to-fiber positioning of optical
signals for a number of optical applications. This module, which exists in
various models depending on the number of optical ports and
configuration options it has, allows you to quickly switch light from one
fiber to another.
³This optical switch can be controlled using applications available in the
IQS Manager software
³The applications can control one or more modules at a time and allow
for various configurations.
³The configurations can be modified at any time and can be saved for
future use, allowing you to save time and be more efficient.
The IQS-9100 Optical Switch supports local control (via the IQS Manager
software) and remote control (through GPIB, RS-232, or Ethernet TCP/IP
using SCPI commands or the provided LabVIEW drivers). For more
information, refer to the IQS platform user guide.
