The OSA comes in different models:

5240S: The 5240S is a small form factor expert DWDM OSA designed for
efficient commissioning, maintenance and troubleshooting of DWDM
components and links in the field, from 25 GHz to CWDM. It can
measure power as a function of wavelength for new modulation
schemes, such as non-return-to-zero (NRZ), duo binary, which present
large line widths and often display multiple peaks. In-depth analysis
ensures the correct identification and signal measurement of each
carrier. It also measures OSNR based on the IEC 61280-2-9 method.

5240S-P: It is the 5240S model with a polarization controller. It is a
hardware-ready version of an expert OSA, without the software to
compute the InBand/i-InBand OSNR. You can upgrade this model using
the software key, and it will become fully capable of
InBand/i-InBand/Pol Mux OSNR measurement.

5240S-P-InB: It is the 5240 S-P model with the software to compute the
InBand/i-InBand OSNR. This software allows you to make either
IEC-Based OSNR measurements, or In-Band OSNR measurements,
required when the inter-channel noise is not representative of the
noise under the signal peaks or when crosstalk is dominant.

5240BP: It is a three-slot high-resolution model with a polarization
controller for InBand and Pol Mux testing, and better optical
performance. It is designed for accurate and precise spectral
measurements, even for channels with 12.5 GHz spacing.

High Power Model (HPW): This model allows you to connect the
FTB-5240S or FTB-5240S-P OSA to a network that carries very high
optical power. This situation becomes more common with the
deployment of latest CATV networks. The sensitivity of this OSA model
is shifted accordingly and the module is protected to work under these
extended power levels.
