Datasheet

Overview

The ODiSI 6102 is the two-channel configuration of the ODiSI 610x models in Luna's ODiSI 6000 Series of optical distributed sensor interrogators. It is a high-definition fiber optic sensing (HD-FOS) system that measures strain and temperature using Rayleigh backscatter in low-cost, unaltered optical fiber, providing thousands of measurements per meter of sensing fiber. The ODiSI 6000 Series has been discontinued by the manufacturer; the ODiSI 7100 Series is the designated replacement.

Measurement modes

The ODiSI 610x models can be configured to measure strain or temperature with a gage pitch of 0.65 mm, 1.3 mm, 2.6 mm or 5.2 mm. With Standard Remote Modules each channel supports an HD-FOS sensor up to 20 m long or a CFG sensor up to 15 m long. With the optional Extended Range Remote Modules each channel supports sensors up to 100 m long as well as HD-SC strain-compensated temperature sensors. Continuous fiber grating (CFG) sensors can also be used for improved tolerance to vibration and dynamic performance.

Software and integration

The system includes ODiSI application software running on the controller (Linux OS) for sensor identification and configuration, real-time plotting versus length or time, data logging and replay. Measurement data can be streamed in real time over Ethernet, and ODiSI Remote software for Windows and Linux provides remote control and viewing. Integration features include IEEE 1588 PTP time synchronization, a JSON-based streaming data format, a TTL sync output and start/stop triggering. Optional 3DViz software maps data onto 3D CAD models or 2D images.

Reliability

The instrument performs continuous optical alignment and calibration with every scan, and Luna strain sensors are calibrated with NIST-traceable fixtures. The sensors are passive, dielectric and corrosion resistant, and can be bonded to curved surfaces or embedded within materials.
