optoVIS-4 Fiber-Optic Light Intensity Monitoring System

Monitor how your lighting performs during EMC testing. The optoVIS-4 from mk-messtechnik converts visible light intensity into electrical signals, allowing you to observe light output and flicker on an oscilloscope.

Designed for automotive and industrial lighting applications, the system combines four optical sensing channels with a battery-powered transmitter and receiver connected by fiber. Optical transmission and shielded housings support use in demanding EMC test environments.
