I-MON 256 High Speed / 512 High Speed
I-MON High Speed
The I-MON 256/512 High Speed Interrogation Monitor offers full spectrum monitoring of FBG sensors at line scan rates up to 35 kHz. A high spectrometer resolution combined with a broad wavelength range provides high-resolution interrogation monitors, allowing measurement of a large number of FBG sensors.
A GigE interface and a data acquisition software enables plug-and-play operation for integrators of FBG sensing systems.
Applications
Stand-alone Interrogation Monitor and/or OEM Interrogation Monitor Modules:
- Vibration analysis
- Temperature measurements
- Pressure monitoring
- Strain measurements

I-MON 256/512 High Speed Evaluation software
The I-MON High Speed Interrogation Monitor comes with evaluation software providing plug-and-play operation. LabVIEW source code is included with the Evaluation software, along with DLL and drivers for OEM integration.
The I-MON Evaluation software will demonstrate the performance of the I-MON High Speed in an easy manner without the need for tedious programming from the customer’s side.
I-Mon High Speed Evaluation Software
An example from the Evaluation software is illustrated above. The spectrum graph screen of the Evaluation Software illustrates the pixel response from the image sensor of the I-MON, i.e., the FBG sensor peaks. Other screens are available for configuration, wavelength fit and FFT analysis. The software allows the user to save raw data as well as wavelength fit data for further processing with external software programs.
