Datasheet

Overview

The HYPERION Single Board Interrogator is an optical sensing instrument designed for integration into OEM systems. It is derived from the HYPERION si155 platform and uses the Micron Optics patented fiber Fabry-Perot filter and wavelength reference technology. Luna has discontinued the product. The HYPERION si155 replaces it.

The board includes a DSP and real-time FPGA processing. These run peak detection algorithms for Fiber Bragg Gratings (FBG), Long Period Gratings (LPG), Fabry-Perot (FP) and Mach-Zehnder (MZ) sensors, and give low-latency access to data for closed-loop feedback applications. Peak and valley detection runs on 1 through 4 parallel channels.

Software

The interrogator works with ENLIGHT Sensing Analysis Software, which provides tools for data acquisition, computation and analysis of optical sensor networks. It also ships with an Application Programming Interface (API) and examples written in LabVIEW, Python, Matlab, C++ and C#. Each data set is calibrated and verified against a permanent NIST traceable reference.
