A method and apparatus are disclosed for browsing one or more Management Information Base objects that are stored in a network device, such as a router or switch. A first channel CCD signal is provided from a pixel area 11a, a horizontal OB area 15a, a slide shift area 12a, and an HCCD 13a. The power circuit provides power to the communication circuit and the sensor circuit. For this purpose, the inventive apparatus comprises a quenching member positioned below each longitudinal end of the spinneret. Using the described techniques, the monitoring load of a system is distributed in part away from the monitoring server and to the nodes themselves.
