Keysight supports tiered PathWave signal generation models with N-model applications (N7608APPC with prefix "N") for high-performance platform: M9484C VXG, E-model applications (E7608APPC with prefix "E") for mid-range platform: N5186A MXG.

Higher-tiered models can run on lower tiered HW platforms, but not vice versa. For example, N7608APPC could run on N5186A MXG, but E7608APPC cannot run on M9484C VXG.

Interoperable and failure-free Automotive Ethernet multiGBASE-T1 devices are the goal — receiver testing can help.

Ensuring the receiver component of an Automotive Ethernet module or switch meets signal-quality requirements, is interoperable with others in the system, and complies with the IEEE 802.3ch Automotive Ethernet standard requires physical-layer electrical tests.

The KS2201A PathWave Test Sync Executive is a programming environment based on Keysight's Hard Virtual Instrument (HVI) technology, that enables the development and execution of synchronous, real-time operations across multiple instruments. The real-time sequencing and synchronization capabilities make it a breakthrough tool for developing measurement applications that require tight synchronization, phase coherence, and real-time control and feedback. Achieve rapid development of high performance, synchronous real-time solutions with transparent multi-instrument synchronization.

Typical Testing Applications

• Quantum research: Instrumented Qubit control systems
• Multi-channel comms: MIMO, beamforming, multi-emitter test
• Wireless Power Amplifier (PA) test: alignment of envelope tracking (ET) and digital pre-distortion (DPD)
• Electronic Warfare (EW): Precisely timed multi-emitter and beamformed A/D systems
• Other validation applications that require precise timing across multiple chasses and families of equipment. (note: equipment support is also required)
