Abstract

Engineers are commonly tasked with doing qualification and quality assurance testing on large numbers of fiber components simultaneously, such as in long term environmental tests. The use of seperate, discrete tests sets for each component is neither economical nor sufficiently accurate. An automated approach using large Multi-Channel 1xN Switches with integrated GPIB software is described.
