Gantner Instruments is Launching a Brand-New Optical Gage Amplifier that Offers All the Benefits of Fiber Optic Measurement but Without the Hassle!

November 2020, MARIETTA, GA ~ The new F108 Optical Gage Amplifier combines unique fiber optic sensor technology with the modularity and versatility of the Q.series X product line. For quick and easy setup, you can use GI.bench and even combine it with GI.cloud for cloud-based storage and monitoring.

The Q.series X F108 is designed for fiber optic πphase-shifted Bragg grating (πFBG) for high-resolution measurement. A laser with a narrow tuning range (~8nm, nominally ~1550nm) is used to lock to the dip seen in a πFBG and track that point as the sensor is subjected to changes in temperature or strain. Or in other words, smaller signal peaks can be measured, and that is what makes the measurement more accurate and precise.

What do you have to do to use the unique optical sensor technology for your tasks in DAQ projects? Just plug it in … and start measuring!

Fiber optic measurement technology comes with the significant advantage of not being sensitive to environmental interference. Lightning strikes? No problem at all for the F108! Fiber optic sensors are intrinsically safe and can be used whenever the conditions are grim.

  • Plug and measure: Start taking measurements from the moment you plug-in sensors

  • Measure faster: Single channel measurement speed of 50 kS/s

  • Just another member of the family: Fully compatible with the Q.series X product line and GI.bench for easy setup & data acquisition

  • 8 independent measurement channels
