The Wandel & Goltermann OMS-150 is a modular optical measuring system engineered for signal and component characterization in optical communication and networking applications. The platform accepts up to three plug-in modules to perform attenuation, power level, and light source measurements across diverse test scenarios. Operation occurs through a 320×256 pixel graphic display with softkey, numeric keypad, and rotary knob controls.
