These optical time-domain reflectometer and mini-OTDR test instruments now feature optional modules for testing at 1625 nm, a software tool kit, 20 Mbytes mass storage and a new rack OTDR. The optional modules allow engineers to check the fiber for optical supervisory channel capability, particularly in wavelength division multiplexing systems. The E6090A software helps engineers post-process measurement data. It allows the system to transmit data serially to a PC using Windows. Optional mass storage of 20 Mb for the mini-OTDR allows engineers to store measurement data of more than 1000 fibers in one testing cycle. Hewlett-Packard Co.

The PCI-GPIB+ interface combines the functionality of an IEEE 488.2 talker/listener/controller and a GPIB analyzer. The interface offers built-in application debugging, bus diagnostics and instrument control capabilities. It requires a single PCI slot and sustains data transfer rates of up to 1.5 Mb/s using the IEEE 488.1 three-wire handshake or up to 8 Mb/s using GPIB. The PCI-GPIB+ is jumperless and features plug-and-play functionality. National Instruments

These synchronous switching regulator controllers are optimized for Pentium II processor applications and include an integrated, on-chip crowbar function to assure overvoltage protection. The controllers use a five-bit DAC to translate a voltage identification digital code directly from the CPU to use a current mode constant off-time architecture to generate the output voltage.
