Introduction
Your choice of test capability
The HP 37717C communications performance analyzer supports
comprehensive functional test and jitter capability to help you test
your PDH/DSn, SONET/SDH and ATM networks or network
equipment. The analyzer comprises a mainframe with large color
display and integral floppy disk drive, optional 80-column graphics
printer, and includes power cord and operating manuals. You add
the test capability you require by selecting from the optional test
modules.
To meet your specific test needs, just order the capability you
require. Simply order the HP 37717C analyzer and choose the
application orientated options you require, from the tables in the
pages that follow. Remember, you can configure your analyzer to
simultaneously include PDH/DSn, SONET/SDH, ATM and jitter, or
you can configure it to contain PDH/DSn only, SDH only, SONET/
SDH only, ATM only or almost any combination.
