Single Fiber Insertion Loss
and Return Loss Test System
mOLM-C1 with PCT-rm Application Framework for MAP Series

PCT-rm is a MAP-220 based Insertion Loss (IL) and Return Loss (RL)
solution targeting single fiber connector applications in the lab and in
manufacturing. It is part of the broader MAP-Series Passive Connector
Test (PCT) solution family which provides test solutions across the
entire connectivity eco-system.

The PCT-rm is delivered by combining the mOLM-C1 measurement module with an mSRC-C2 source module in a
MAP-220C chassis, giving users all the capabilities they need for IL & RL testing in a compact system.

Measurement Modes

Instrument Mode
This measurement mode is designed to be always on and immediately available using the 3.5-inch LCD touch
screen on the controller or though remote VNC. One touch referencing for IL and RL is simple and intuitive.
Measurement resolution and averaging time are user controllable. The display can be configured to measure
absolute power, insertion loss or insertion loss AND return loss.

Measurements are done in parallel with all 4 wavelength results reported in less than 0.5s. IL and RL are measured
concurrently. A full range of on-board measurement management tolls are available to manage source integration
and calibration. In this mode, an external light source (like a tunable laser) can configured and used.

Simple large display shown in single and multi-wavelength mode. The capacitive touchscreen enables quick and efficient navigation.

Device Aware Mode

Unlike other instruments in this performance class, the PCT-rm is delivered with a fully integrated workflow
automation mode. DUT definition files and serial numbers can be pre-loaded to deliver a full production
automation environment. Connecting the PCT-rm to your corporate or instrument LAN enables test results to
be automatically uploaded to a shared directory. The DUT definition files can be centralized and shared amongst
multiple units. If rework is required, results can be reloaded on any unit matching the hardware profile required to
execute the test.

Example screens from DUT aware mode. Batch loads of serial numbers can be loaded. When testing the results can be
frozen with a simple touch prior to uploading. Results may only be uploaded if the pass the DUT test criteria.

PCT Control Center
PCT Control Center is a free companion PC application, designed to maximize the value of the DUT Aware
measurement mode. It is delivered standard with the PCT-rm.

A simple, easy to use PC interface enables creating, editing and managing DUT definition files, report templates
and serial number batches. Files are saved to a shared directory and allows all PCT-rm units to use these files. If
network connectivity is not available, USB storage media can be used to transfer the information. Test results
can be uploaded, viewed, filtered and printed using both standard and editable HTML templates.

PCT Control Center is also compatible with the PCT-lite application which leverages the mORL-A1 measurement
engine. Users who wish to migrate to mandrel-free testing, can continue to use the Control Center application
and DUT files.

PCT Control Center is a simple PC application designed to simplify

management of the PCT-rm and PCT-lite based IL and RL systems.
