Automation for manufacturing

Thanks to a complete list of programming interfaces, the LTB-12 is ready to be automated using proven industry methods, including but not limited to: SCPI, IVI, RESTful Web services, TCP/IP, VISA, Ethernet, ActiveX, GPIB (optional) and RS-232 (optional).

Choose your preferred integrated development environment (IDE), install on LTB-12 hard drive, select a programming language among Python, LabVIEW, C#, TCL, MATLAB^®, C++, Visual Basic and start coding.

Fiber inspection and verification

Taking the time to properly inspect a fiber optic cable can prevent a slew of problems down the line—saving you time, money and headaches. Plug EXFO’s FIP-430B into a USB port on the LTB-12 and through EXFO’s ConnectorMax2 Analysis Software, quickly see if connectors pass or fail inspection.

The FIP-430B automates each operation in the connector endface inspection sequence, transforming this critical process into one quick and easy step
The ConnectorMax2 is an analysis software application that works with EXFO’s fiber inspection probes enabling technicians to:

View and automatically analyze connector images, eliminate guesswork and deliver quick pass/fail assessment of connector endfaces.
Generate reports and document jobs with EXFO's reporting tool
Save time and money in the lab

For complete automation in your manufacturing or deployment process, EXFO offers a RESTful Web services API and a comprehensive software development kit (SDK):

Use programming to select test configuration and start an inspection sequence
Retrieve measurement results and PASS/FAIL status
View live image of connector

Remote monitoring and control

Use remote access applications such as VNC, Remote Desktop or web browsers to monitor and troubleshoot test applications carried out on an LTB-12 platform located anywhere in the world.
