I finally bought the analyzer.
It is great for my purpose and I developed a serial interface to make
it compatible with the Windows XP based PCs.
I also wrote a software suite for the instrument which works via that
serial interface.
The SW has the following main specifications:
Wavelength: 165...4600nm (depending on the installed detectors and
grating mirror)
Bandwidth: .25 to 16nm (depending on the installed slits and grating
mirror)
Wavelength resolution: .01nm
Full wavelength calibration procedure.
Number of simultaneous traces: 5
Traces interpolation modes: Linear/Spline
Traces filtering: None, Smooth, Savit 5pts; Savit 7pts; Savit 9pts;
Pt.Wt.
Traces math: sum; subtract; multiply; divide; chain; area for power
density computations
Number of on traces markers: 8
Marker modes: free; on peak ; on pit; BW peak; BW pit
Amplitude modes: absorbance; transmission; reflectance; power dBm;
power W (the absolute power measurements require a suitable
calibration against a reliable third party OSA as reference)
Amplitude settings: 1-2-5 steps; continuous; autoscale
Delta markers: 8 with amplitude/wavelength delta readouts (one for
each marker)
All traces can be zoomed manually or via markers
The scan process is customizable: one main scan process and up to 10
subscan processes allow the time optimization for the whole process
Scan modes: Sample; Max hold; Min hold; Reference
Scan sensitivity: x1; x100; x10000; Auto (depending on the installed
detectors)
Selective power meter embedded with instantaneous power readout, max/
min/avg power readouts and power trend curve selectable to show the
power drift on the 15 seconds, 1 minute or 1 hour time span.
The software includes the test and calibration utilities for all the
boards of the Model 200 OSA and the serial interface.
The software can export customizable Excel CSV files and BMP hardcopy
files.
If anyone has the Model 200 OSA, I can give you the SW, the HW
schematics, the PCB drawings and the FW of the serial interface.
All the above for free, without any fee but under the "as is" license
of use.
Have anice day.
