JDS Uniphase MAP-200A02R

The JDS Uniphase MAP-200A02R is a controller module for the MAP-200 modular optical test and measurement platform. It is the central control unit, enabling operation and integration of hot-swappable instrumentation cassettes within MAP-200 mainframes. The module runs Linux-based firmware that automatically identifies installed modules and communicates via USB, GPIB, and Ethernet (10/100/1000Base-T) interfaces.
