N1930B Physical Layer Test System (PLTS) Version 5.5
Flyers
The latest release of PLTS version 5.5 software incorporates industry-first capabilities including the following:
- A break through feature called “Test Suites” that enables one-button multiple domain compliance testing for USB 3.0, HDMI and Serial ATA interconnect
- Simplified connectivity between software and hardware (standard USB cable only)
- Synchronous marker coupling to traces in different domains
- Automatic generation of an XML based characterization report
- System rise time setting in picoseconds
- Automatic channel skew measurement
- Hardware support for 32-port vector network analyzer
- Enhanced graphics capability for trace labels and annotations directly on waveform plot
- Trace statistics and trace smoothing functions similar to Agilent PNA family
- Automatic step rise time measurement
The new release of PLTS version 5.5 adds new functionality, such as test suites for compliance verification of high-speed interconnect. This powerful tool allows one-button verification of interconnect performance by automatically populating a pre-defined test template for high-speed digital standards.
The new Physical Layer Test System (PLTS) version 5.5 software is a powerful signal integrity tool for today’s high-speed digital designers. The PLTS software platform has become an industry standard for calibration, measurement and analysis of linear passive interconnects such as cables, connectors, backplanes and printed circuit boards.
Utilizing either a Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) or Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR), fast and accurate measurements can be obtained without in-depth knowledge of microwave measurement techniques.
