IEEE802.3bs/cd Compliance Test Application Software

D9010EBSC IEEE802.3bs/cd

Compliance Test Application Software

The Keysight Technologies, Inc. compliance test application provides a fast and effortless way to test, debug and characterize your IEEE802.3bs/cd designs. More and more industry and standards bodies have adopted 4-level pulse amplitude modulation (PAM4) to increase throughput within a given bandwidth compared to Non-Return-to -Zero (NRZ) technology. Working groups within the IEEE802.3bs and IEEE802.3cd are one such group that has adapted PAM4 technology. The Keysight N6472A IEEE802.3bs/cd compliance application for Infiniium real-time oscilloscopes saves you time and money by automating the task of preforming PAM4 and NRZ compliance measurements. The tests performed by the D9010EBSC software are based on the IEEE 802.3bs/cd specification. In addition, the application includes other features and utilities such as “Find Optimal CTLE Eye Opening” that help users find the ideal CTLE setting to open even the most closed eyes. The test application offers a user-friendly setup wizard and a comprehensive report that includes margin analysis.

Transform complexity into simplicity

• Setup wizard for quick setup, configuration and test selection.

• Execution speed and proven test algorithm which minimizes test time.

• User-select tests and configuration based on the IEEE 802.3 IEEE802.3bs/cd specification.

• Reduces the time it takes to characterize your PAM4 and NRZ design from hours to minutes.

• Reports multi trial results with statistics for each measurement and worst case result.

• Accurate and repeatable results with Keysight Technologies Infiniium oscilloscopes

• Automated reporting in a comprehensive HTML format with margin analysis

With the IEEE802.3bs/cd Ethernet electrical test software, you can use the same oscilloscope you use for everyday debugging to perform automated testing and margin analysis based on the IEEE802.3 standard.

D9010EBSC IEEE802.3bs/cd Compliance Application Software Saves You Time

The IEEE802.3bs/cd Ethernet electrical compliance test application software saves you time by setting the stage for automatic execution of IEEE802.3bs/cd electrical tests. Part of the difficulty of performing electrical tests for Ethernet transmitters is properly connecting to the oscilloscope, loading the proper setup files, and then analyzing the measured results by comparing them to limits published in the specification. The Ethernet electrical compliance test application software does much of this work for you. The IEEE802.3bs/cd Ethernet electrical compliance test application software automatically configures the oscilloscope for each test, and it provides an informative results report that includes margin analysis indicating how close your product is to passing or failing that test specification.

Easy test definition

The IEEE802.3bs/cd Ethernet electrical compliance test application software extends the ease-of-use advantages of Keysight’s Infiniium oscilloscopes to testing IEEE802.3bs/cd designs. The Keysight automated test engine walks you quickly through the steps required to define the tests you want to make, set up the tests, perform the tests, and view the test results. A setup page enables you to quickly make decisions from the outset regarding the choice of tests and perform functions that affect the testing task. The test selections available in the following steps are then filtered according to the choices made in the setup page. While selecting tests, you can select a category of tests all at once or specify individual tests. You can save tests and configurations as project files and recall them later for quick testing and review of previous test results. Straightforward menus let you perform tests with a minimum of mouse clicks.
