Technical Data Sheet     KDX Automated Modular Test System

The KD Optics KDX1000 modular test system is intended for use both as a laboratory instrument and as production test equipment. The unit features a mainframe with power meter controller with capacity for multimode, singlemode and visible light sources. When used as a production test system, the test software allows full automation, giving the operator a totally hand-free test environment, with the test sequence and results stored in an Access database.

Available options include LED or laser, single or dual, cooled or uncooled along with Insertion loss and return loss measurements.
