N5412E Serial Attached SCSI − 4 (SAS-4) Transmitter Test Application

Automation

• Test setup wizard guides you through test selection, configuration, connection, execution, and results reporting
• Measurement connection setups are displayed
• Oscilloscope setup is automatically configured for each test
• Test results report documents test configuration, measurements made, pass/fail status, margin analysis, and waveforms

Standards supported

• SAS-4 Specification for 1.5, 3.0, 6.0, 12.0 and 22.5 Gbps data rate
• UNH-IOL SAS Consortium SAS physical layer test suite

Features

• Supports transmitter spread spectrum clocking (SSC), signal long-term stability, amplitude, common-mode voltages, jitter, WDP, and other tests
• Supports transmitter equalization and end-to-end simulation analysis that require SAS3_EYEOPENING script
• Supports transmitter loopback and out-of-band (OOB) testing with 81134A, N4903B and J-BERT M8020A pattern generators

Requirements

• Keysight Infiniium 90000, V or Z Series oscilloscope with operating software revision 6.0 or higher
• High-speed SDA software; MATLAB basic software package for running WDP tests – optional; PrecisionProbe Cable and Probe Correction Software – optional; InfiniiSim Waveform Transformation Toolset – optional
• Wilder Technologies SFF-8482 and Mini-SAS HD test fixtures (www.wilder-tech.com)

Extensibility

• Use the User-Defined Application tool to:
• Create and fully integrate custom tests, configuration variables, and connection instructions
• Insert external application calls into the run sequence, such as MATLAB scripts or your device controller
• Configure additional external instruments used in your test suite
   

Simplify your transmitter test with the automated SAS-4 compliance software with integrated SAS EYEOPENING script for the most comprehensive SAS test coverage.

The N5412E SAS-4 compliance test software for Infiniium oscilloscopes provides you with a fast and easy way to validate and debug your SAS 1.5, 3.0, 6.0, 12.0 and 22.5 Gbps silicon, host bus adapter, initiator, high-density disk drive, or enclosure backplane. The SAS electrical test software allows you to automatically execute electrical checklist tests at SAS interface points, and it displays the results in a flexible report format. In addition to the measurement data, the report provides a margin analysis that shows how closely your device passed or failed each test. The software also supports tests that require the SAS3_EYEOPENING and WDP tests.
