Viavi Optical Manufacturing Test Equipment and MATLAB

Viavi manufactures test equipment such as tunable lasers, tunable filters, polarization controllers, EDFAs, and optical power meters. You can use MATLAB together with Instrument Control Toolbox as your single software environment to configure, control, acquire, and analyze data from Viavi test equipment.

Once data is in MATLAB, you can analyze and visualize that data for tasks such as signal processing, statistical analysis, digital filtering, and curve fitting. You can also create graphical interfaces for collecting and analyzing your data and automating tests.

Viavi (JDSU) Instrument Drivers

Instrument drivers let you communicate with an instrument using higher-level commands. You can communicate with any instrument that supports the instrument standards IVI, LXI, or VXIplug&play.
