For this post I am going to talk about the Fluke Pro3000 Series Tone & Probe Kits tone and trace inactive wiring (a fox and hound wire tracer). One of the features of Fluke Pro3000 is the Innovative filter technology, it blocks interference that makes tracing cables difficult. Innovative filter feature is an advanced filter that removes signal interference at 50 or 60 Hz and their harmonics. This filtering allows technicians to easily find the cable or wire they are tracing even when noisy external sources, such as power cables and lighting, are present. Another feature I would like to talk about is Precise SmartTone technology.

     The Precise SmartTone technology capability of the Pro3000 Analog Tone Generator to identify the right network cable. SmartTone provides five distinct tones for exact cable identification. When touching the wires together and momentarily shorting the far end of a cable pair, the SmartTone technology will change the cadence of the tone generated, thereby identifying the cable. Also can send these loud tones up to 10 miles/16 kilometers on most cables, ideal use for an industrial area or a small campus. Link below to a Fluke website with more information on the Fluke Pro3000 Series Tone & Probe Kits.

Without Spanning Tree Protocol (STP) or Rapid STP (RSTP), a LAN with redundant links would cause Ethernet frames to loop for an indefinite period of time. With STP or RSTP enabled, some switches to block ports so that these ports do not forward frames. STP and RSTP intelligently choose. In 2001, the IEEE introduced Rapid RSTP as 802.1w RSTP provides significantly faster recovery in response to network changes or failures, introducing new convergence behaviors and bridge port roles to do this. Please note RSTP was designed to be backwards-compatible with standard STP, link below with more information about these to protocols.

I want to share this information on Azure Extensions for Visual Studio Code. The extension allows you to use Azure directly from Visual Studio Code. This can be done by using either the Azure CLI or the Azure App Service extension, you can have your application running in Azure in minutes, link below to a website with more information.

Information on performance profiling with Visual Studio Code.  Talking about how to resolve performance issues in your application after shipping it, by using the profiling tools in Visual Studio. This is a multi-part series with profiler PMs Esteban Herrera and Sagar Shetty, they explore the world of profiling and the tools that can improve your code's performance. In part 2 of our multi-part series on performance profiling, they explore the different profiling tools in Visual Studio and when each tool can be used. Example the items they review is Performance Profiler tool, the Diagnostics Hub tool and the Profiling Optimization. I

In part 3 of the multi-part series on performance profiling,  shows us how to profile apps once they are in production. Link below to all three of the video's that make up this series.
