The Tektronix TOP200 Optical Power Meter delivers accurate optical power measurements across fiber optic applications from field installations to laboratory characterization. Built around a 1 mm InGaAs sensor, this compact instrument measures absolute power from +3 dBm to -60 dBm with ±0.25 dB accuracy and 0.01 dB resolution. Three-button operation and a high-resolution LCD display with dedicated wavelength annunciators enable fast, intuitive measurements. The meter stores calibration data and reference values in nonvolatile memory for each of three calibrated wavelengths: 850 nm, 1310 nm, and 1550 nm.
