Description
I-MON Interrogation Monitors are cutting-edge solutions designed specifically for Fiber Bragg Grating (FBG) sensor systems. These high-resolution spectrometers are ideally suited for a wide array of FBG sensing applications, offering unparalleled performance in spectrum monitoring. The I-MON 256/512 USB models deliver kHz spectrum monitoring capabilities, ensuring precise and reliable measurements across a broad wavelength range. This makes them the perfect choice for applications requiring the monitoring of a large number of FBG sensors with high sensitivity, even at very low light levels.
Featuring a convenient USB interface and comprehensive data acquisition software, the I-MON Interrogation Monitors provide an effortless setup with any laptop, enabling users to employ them as stand-alone monitors when paired with a suitable light source. These monitors are designed for straightforward integration with existing interrogation system control PCBs, meeting rigorous industrial qualification standards. This makes them an excellent choice for both standalone and OEM interrogation monitor modules.
The I-MON USB Interrogation Monitors are built on patented high-resolution spectrometer technology, utilizing Ibsen’s fused silica transmission gratings. This advanced technology spatially splits the wavelength spectrum, allowing for parallel processing of individual FBG sensor peaks. These peaks are precisely measured by a diode array, with embedded electronics providing a seamless USB interface. The included LabVIEW-based software ensures plug-and-play operation, while driver software packages and DLL files enable users to develop custom measurement applications, facilitating OEM integration.
