Communication network systems are rapidly growing
in size and complexity. These systems have many high
speed integrated circuits with critical operating param-
eters and must provide extremely reliable service with
zero down time. To maintain the performance of these
systems, adequate environmental monitoring must be
performed, so a failure or a data trend leading to a
potential failure can be rapidly identified. Furthermore,
this monitoring must be performed cheaply to keep sys-
tem costs low. AN736
