GP700 Programmable Mainframe

Environmental Specifications
Operating temperature Storage temperature Humidity 0C to +40C -20C to +60C 40C/90%RH/5 days

User Interface
Control Display Manual, IEEE 488.2 (GPIB), and RS-232. Front-panel vacuum fluorescent display continuously shows current position of all modules within the GP700. Internal programming instruction set allows user to enter and store up to four mini-programs via the front panel (no computer required) or remotely. Mini- programs can control switches, attenuators, filters, electrical triggers, and testing sequences. Nine memory registers capable of saving complete or partial device states. Labview drivers available. Contact DiCon for other drives.

General Information
DiCon's GP700 General Purpose Fiberoptic Platform offers complete fiber optic switching solutions. The flexible GP700 enables the integration of multiple fiber-optic switches, attenuators, couplers, and other components in a user-friendly programmable instrument. The instrument can control up to 30 1xN switches, tunable filters, or variable attenuators, and up to 64 2x2, 1x2, or On-Off switches. Larger configurations can be accommodated using multiple housings. A wide variety of rack-mountable and benchtop chassis are available. DiCons GP700s can be built with Corning SMF-28, Flexcor 1060 or Polarization Maintaining Panda fiber.

Modular GP700
GP700M Modular Mainframe
DiCons GP700M Modular Mainframe builds on the enormous flexibility of DiCons GP700. The GP700M shares the powerful user interface with the traditional GP700. At the same time, it offers the convenience of field installation of fiberoptic switches, variable attenuators, and tunable filters. The instrument can accommodate up to eight modular Plug-Ins and can be configured with non-modular internal components by request. The GP700M Modular Mainframe is available in standard and extended 4U rackmount chassis.
