This paper demonstrates applications of LabVIEW in automatic test measurement of fiber optic system.First,the LabVIEW applications in fiber optic system and the basics of instrument connectivity are presented.Then,the aspects of hardware communication to external instruments through GPIB and serial interfaces are analyzed.Next,self-calibrating automated characterization system for depressed cladding applications is demonstrated utilizing the LabVIEW’s GPIB interface. Results of the manual and automatic measurements and the analysis of the measurement trace obtained from the optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) are shown.In the end,two applications of LabVIEW in fiber optic sensor system are discussed.
