摘要:
A subscriber loop tester for testing local loops of telephone switching networks has a partitioned "U" interface and an internal bus architecture for converting various transceiver circuit output data formats to a common data format. The "U" interface has a high impedance transformer meeting bandwidth and line matching requirements for different line codes and protocols for ISDN telecommunication systems. The transformer is selectively coupled to option cards each containing circuitry having AC and DC terminations matching specific line codes and protocols for ISDN telecommunications systems and other types of telecommunications systems. The option cards further contain programmable attenuators for producing a proper nominal signal level as a function of the specific line code and protocol and providing variable insertion loss. A high speed bus is selectively coupled to the option cards for coupling the formatted transceiver circuit output data between the cards and a digital bus translator. The digital bus translator selectively configures the high speed bus for the transceiver output data format of the selected option card and converts the formatted output data received on the high speed bus to a common data format. Multiple source and destination audio paths in the subscriber loop tester are controlled by an audio switching matrix.

An apparatus for sensing the location of user input is disclosed. The apparatus may include a display unit including a screen having a resistive coating disposed on its surface. The apparatus may utilize a sensing signal emanating from the screen through the resistive coating. A sensor array may be disposed about the screen, and sensing electronics are provided to determine the location of user input on the screen by sensing localized deviations in the amplitude of the sensing signal.

A switching system for connecting any one of a plurality of electrical circuits to any one of a plurality of test positions, wherein a central controller including a microprocessor directs, in a pre-programmed manner, all necessary switching functions. In the preferred embodiment, the electrical circuits are telephone circuits and the test positions include test ports positioned in various locations around a central office so that any of the telephone circuits can be accessed for testing from any of the test ports. The controller communicates with each of the test ports and controls switching units one at a time over a common control bus.
