About Quantum Parametrics

Quantum Parametrics LLC (QP) began operation in April of 2000. Since that time QP has established itself as the leading provider of IEEE-1394 testing services. In 2002 QP became the designated services provider for the 1394 Trade Association’s Logo Program.

With IEEE-1394 experience dating back to 1992, QP is uniquely positioned to provide 1394 testing tools and services. Since 1997 the principles of QP have been involved in testing silicon (both PHY and Link) and end user products for compliance to IEEE-1394 and interoperability with other products. By establishing a company solely devoted to responding to the industry’s need for independent compliance and interoperability testing and tools, QP believes it can contribute to the rapid and effective adoption of the innovative high speed serial technologies now being designed and implemented.  

Quantum Parametrics is a member of the 1394 Trade Association. QP is not only a member but plays a very active role within the 1394TA. Richard Mourn, President of QP, was on the Board of Directors of the 1394TA and continues to support the industry through his role as Chairperson of the Compliance and Interoperability Working Group. Richard is also the primary author of the Simple Test Protocol Specification, Base 1394 Test Suite Definition, Point-to-Point Private Plugfest Guideline, and the Network Test Suite Definition. In addition, both Richard and Denis Ramirez of QP are technical contributors to the 1394 OHCI Test Specification. Barry Walker, also from QP, is a strong technical contributor to the Base 1394 Test Suite Definition for 1394b and SAE test specification for 1394b.
