VIAVI MAP Multiple Application Platform

The Multiple Application Platform (MAP) is a flexible instrumentation platform used for optical or electro-optical test and measurement applications. It is available in three formats: a 19-inch 8-slot Master (MAP+2M00), a 19-inch 8-slot Slave (MAP+2S00) and a 9.5-inch 3-slot Benchtop (MAP+2B00). They feature a common hot-swappable backplane compatible with over 20 different types of instrumentation cassettes.

The MAP Master and MAP Benchtop include a 9-key keypad, color display, remote communication ports and connectors for inter-chassis connections. They can be used as stand-alone system or as a master when used in a master-slave configuration with up to seven MAP Slaves.

Chassis Selection

MAP is used when instrumentation selection needs to be based on current requirements without compromising future requirements. The MAP+2B00 and MAP+2M00 provide the most cost-effective solutions for test sets requiring three or fewer cassettes and four to eight cassettes respectively. In both cases, future expansions are possible by populating the empty slots (if available), adding a second independent MAP+2B00 or MAP+2M00 or adding a MAP+2S00 as a slave. The three chassis formats provide an endless number of configurations and numerous expansion paths.

Safety Information

• Optical source cassettes, when installed in the MAP chassis, meet the requirements of standard IEC 60825-1(2002) and comply with 21 CFR 1040.10 except deviations per Laser Notice No. 50, July 2001
• CE Compliance plus UL3101-1 and CAN/CSA-C22.2 No. 1010.1

Applications

• Periodic reconfiguration and/or expansion capability
• High reliability/availability in a 24/7 manufacturing environment

Key Features

• Hot-swappable cassettes (cassettes can be inserted or removed without powering down)
• Master/slave configuration so that a single controller can control up to eight chassis
• Dynamic MAP firmware and console that automatically identifies installed cassettes
• PC-based MAP Console program with drivers, ActiveX, Dynamic link libraries (DLL), LabVIEW and simulation mode
• Color display
• RS-232 and GPIB interface
