This Control Software displays a full Graphical User Interface
(GUI) and gives the operator the ability to remotely Open and
Close switches as well as observe system Status.
Individual Pushbuttons select and control switches main-
frames supplying either 16 or 32 individual switchpoints
.
The FO/64 Mainframe can be equipped with with optional
Thumbwheel Manual Controls.
Bidirectional Nx1 Multiplexers are assembled from standard
FO Chassis by interconnecting Fiberoptic Switch Modules
as shown schematically below. The interconnects are
fiberoptic cables and are usually wired internally. The FO/16
Chassis can be configured as four 1x4s or two 1x8s, while
the FO/32 is available as eight 1x4s or four 1x8s.

FO/16 and FO/32 Chassis are built with individual, discrete
front panel LEDs that show switchpoint status, while the FO/
64 is built with up to eight CL8 Display Modules. The LEDs
are an invaluable aid in program debugging and system
troubleshooting.
Installed in the FO/16 & FO/32 Mainframes. This required
control module has both the IEEE488 (Talk/Listen) and the
RS232 features detailed in Applications Bulletin AP-5.

The FO Fiber Optic Switches utilizes a “moving fiber” design
concept to achieve highly accurate direct fiber to fiber connec-
tions. Currently available in 1x2, dual 1x2 and dual 1x2
nonblocking configurations. Also available in both Single
and Multimode versions as well as Normal and Low Loss
types. Insertion loss is as low as 0.25 for singlemode and
0.10 dB for Multimode switches.
