Overview
The MPM-2000 Fiber Optic Multiplexer is a compact instrument that can optically couple one input
channel to 16 different output channels. The MPM-2000 consists of a precisely controlled DC-motor with
encoder and end switch on a rotator block. The optical path couples via UV collimating lenses.
The Multiplexer features a CNC controller working in positioning mode, which eliminates step loss. The
MPM-2000 is software controlled and interfaces to a PC through the RS-232 protocol. It automatically
saves all calibrated positions in the memory of the controlling unit, and easy-to-use software facilitates
calibration. The software enables full control of the switching order and delay time.
The MPM-2000 is ideal for applications in process industry, where you need to measure multiple
locations with multiple probes but with a single spectrometer channel and/or light source. The MPM-2000
operates as a stand-alone unit and includes a sample program to guide you in setting up your application.
The CD contains a driver for Windows, and you can configure the MPM-2000 in Ocean Optics
OOIbase32 Platinum software.
The following sections provide instructions on unpacking and setting up your MPM-2000 Optical
Multiplexer.
