Automated Switching Solution for Testing Multi-Lane Bus with an Oscilloscope
Configuration Guides
Introduction
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. switch matrix software option for compliance applications, when used with switch matrix hardware, enables fully automated testing for multi-lane digital bus interfaces. The automated switching option will be available on compliance applications for multi-lane buses, which include DisplayPort, HDMI, PCI Express, MIPI D-PHY and M-PHY interfaces.
The benefits of this automated switching solution include:
- Eliminate reconnections (and errors) The new switch matrix capability saves time and makes testing simple by automating testing for each lane of a multi-lane bus.
- Maintain accuracy Use Keysight’s unique N2809A PrecisionProbe and N5465A InfiniiSim to compensate switch path losses and skew.
- Customize your testing Extend the test application with remote programming hooks and the N5467A user-defined application for device control, equipment control, and test customization.
The automated switching solution is available for different test interfaces, which includes the coaxial (SMA, SMP) interface as well as direct probing through the Keysight InfiniiMax Series probes.
