The AE6980T is an automated software application that enables measurement of a significant subset of optical transmitter parameters outlined in the IEEE 802.3cz specification through a set of logically grouped tests. Use the Optical Automotive Ethernet Tx Compliance Software with the DCA-M (N1092A/C) sampling oscilloscope and the N1077A/B Clock Data Recovery (CDR) module. The N1077A/B CDR is used to recover the clock signal from the optical data stream so that the sampling oscilloscope can accurately align waveform samples and properly trigger eye diagram acquisition. 

Keysight recommends using the most current version, which includes the most up-to-date bug fixes and security patches available.
