configurable to be either internally generated or externally
provided.
Controller MAP controller card
CSA Canadian Standards Association
Device The part of a card that is individually addressed and controlled to
perform a particular action based on card type. For example, a
switch card contains switch devices that can be controlled to
connect specific input channels to specific output channels.
DFB Distributed-Feedback laser source. Narrow-band laser source
card having one or more lasers. Each laser is tunable over a
small wavelength range.
