The Test Set is specially designed for dispersion

measurements together with the Optical-Dispersion-

Modules, available for the T-BERT 8000, MTS-8000 and

Battery operation from four AA batteries and the robust,

shock-proof design provide long operating time in the

a separate AC adapter and the USB interface for remote

control also ensure ease of use in the laboratory or
