– Control switch matrix for automated multi-lane interface testing

– Add analysis to your compliance and debug software

Custom Automation for Your Keysight Oscilloscope

Create the Applications that you need

Automated testing continues to be an extremely important part of today’s engineering environment. Today’s oscilloscope vendors provide compliance applications such as USB 3.0, PCIe, MIPI and DDR to provide specific automation for the technology that you need to ensure certification of your design.

However, compliance applications are created specifically to the technology that you purchase. These applications lacked the ability to be modified, which meant limited flexibility until the addition of UDA. Any custom automation had to be done on your own with more complicated programming environments.

Keysight oscilloscopes now solve this problem with the User Defined Application (UDA). UDA is the only fully customizable automated environment made for an oscilloscope by an oscilloscope designer. It provides full automation, including the ability to control other Keysight Technologies, Inc. instruments, external applications such as MATLAB, and your DUT software. UDA also provides the ability to add custom tests to your Infiniium compliance applications. In addition, UDA automates and customizes your multi-lane interface testing with available switch matrix (Keysight U3020AS26 and BitifEye BIT-2100 Series) or custom switch matrix. UDA switches the signal under test from a multi-lane interface automatically so you do not have to be in front of the test setup to do this manually. It also supports test plan feature, which iteratively runs through the different permutations of your device setup and tracks the results. It makes testing of multi-lane signals more efficient and saves you time.

When working with InfiniiVision oscilloscopes, the UDA application executes on a Windows PC and uses a network or USB connection to fully control and automate the test process. For Infiniium oscilloscopes, it is optional to run on a separate PC or directly on the oscilloscope, giving you the flexibility to optimize your test environment.

UDA’s environment: developed for oscilloscope test

There are two key differentiators for UDA from programs such as Keysight’s VEE. The first is that UDA was designed specifically for Keysight oscilloscopes. The UDA development environment is easier to use than other test and measurement automation packages, which allows you to spend less time programming and more time testing your application. The second key differentiator is that the environment built around the Infiniium proprietary compliance testing framework, which gives you features developed for Infiniium’s compliance testing and the customization you wanted. Other oscilloscope vendors may have compliance applications or leverage development environments such as VEE; however, only Keysight oscilloscopes have the added advantage of the flexibility and ease of use of UDA.

UDA’s development environment

Similar to other programming applications; UDA has its own development environment. The environment can be downloaded for free at www.keysight.com/find/uda.

The UDA environment includes all the tabs that you would see in a typical compliance application, however, you control the tests and automation that you need.

To make developing simple and easy, the development environment has two modes (Basic and Advanced). Basic mode allows you to quickly build an application. Tests written for basic mode will load a single setup file and execute a single script or command. You get variable set up, and can load your own company logo.

All the features that are included in basic mode are also included in advanced mode. In addition, advanced mode adds connection diagrams, external instrument control, external application value source (file based), test grouping, sequential test steps, and independent scripts running during testing.
