	THGm (Ten/Hun-	THGm is Finisar’s premier analyzer card for 10/100/1000 Ethernet networks.
	dred/Thousand	THGm supports all counters in Surveyor and supports all capture functions at
	module)	full line rate. TheTHGm also supports monitor and transmit functions. Special
		views are supported for viewing the capture buffer when the device is
		stopped. For THGm, you do not have to stop the device to load/unload filters.
		The default mode for THGm is Capture + Monitor. THGm cards do not sup-
		port Capture + Transmit mode.
	THGs or THGsE	The THGs is a protocol analysis tool that contains its own processor and two
		THGm modules. The THGm modules in THGs support all counters in Sur-
		veyor. THGm supports all capture and transmit functions at full line rate.
		The THGm modules are synchronized so you can analyze a full-duplex net-
		work segment from a single view. When viewing a THGs resource in the
		Resource Browser, you will see three “devices”: one for the first THGm card,
		one for the second THGm card, and one for the two cards synchronized as a
		set. The default mode for modules in THGs is Capture + Monitor. THGm
		cards in THGs do not support Capture + Transmit mode.
	THGnotebook	The THGnotebook is a portable PC analyzer system consisting of a Note-
		book PC running analyzer software and a portable undercarriage containing
		two THGm cards. The THGm modules in THGnotebook support all features
		and functions in Surveyor. THGm supports all capture functions at full line
		rate and has a monitoring capability. When two THGm modules are
		present, they are synchronized so you can analyze a full-duplex network seg-
		ment from a single view. When viewing THGnotebook resources in the
		Resource Browser, you will see three “devices” for each pair of synchronized
		THGm cards in the device: one for the first THGm card, one for the second
		THGm card, and one for the two cards synchronized as a set. The default
		mode for modules in THGnotebook is Capture + Monitor. THGm cards in
		THGnotebook do not support Capture + Transmit mode.
	THGp	The THGp is a portable PC system (Dolch PC) that contains up to four
		THGm modules. The THGm modules in THGp support all features and func-
		tions in Surveyor. THGm supports all capture functions at full line rate and
		has a monitoring capability. When two THGm modules are present, they
		are synchronized so you can analyze a full-duplex network segment from a
		single view. When viewing THGp resources in the Resource Browser, you
		will see three “devices” for each pair of synchronized THGm cards in the
		device: one for the first THGm card, one for the second THGm card, and one
		for the two cards synchronized as a set. The default mode for modules in
		THGp is Capture + Monitor. THGm cards in THGp do not support Capture +
		Transmit mode.
