Corning
The client requested software development for a new generation test system for fiber optic amplifiers. Mr. Weekley helped the client define the expanded capabilities of the system and performed the development and on-site integration of the software and hardware. The advanced capabilities of LabVIEW were used to give the client very versatile and robust software. The system uses IEEE-488 based electrical and optical instruments, including a relay driver, a Fluke Hydra data acquisition unit, a signal generator, a switch controller, a digital multimeter, a multiple laser diode controller, a tunable laser source, optical switches, a programmable optical attenuator, a lightwave multimeter, and a thermal controller. The system also uses a digital I/O card internal to the computer.
