N8830A 100GBASE-CR4 Electrical Performance Validation and Conformance Software For Infiniium Oscilloscopes Data Sheet Features The N8830A 100GBASE-CR4 Ethernet electrical test software offers several features to simplify the validation of Ethernet designs: • Setup wizard for quick and clear setup, configuration, and test • Wide range of 100GBASE-CR4 Ethernet electrical tests enabling standards conformance • Accurate and repeatable results with Agilent Infiniium oscilloscopes • Automated reporting in a comprehensive HTML format with margin analysis With the 100GBASE-CR4 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 IEEE P802.3bj standard. Easy and Accurate 100GBASE-CR4 Ethernet Transmitter Design Validation and Debug The N8830A 100GBASE-CR4 Ethernet electrical performance validation and conformance software for Infiniium oscilloscopes gives you an easy and accurate way to verify and debug your 100GBASE-CR4 Ethernet designs. The Ethernet electrical test software allows you to automatically execute Ethernet physical-layer (PHY) electrical tests, 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 N8830A 100GBASE-CR4 Ethernet compliance software performs a wide range of electrical tests required to meet the IEEE P802.3bj Ethernet electrical specifications. To meet signal quality requirements, your product must successfully pass conformance testing based on these specifications. Performing these tests gives you confidence in your design. The software helps you execute a wide subset of the conformance tests that can be measured with an oscilloscope.

100GBASE-CR4 Compliance Application Software Saves You Time The 100GBASE-CR4 Ethernet electrical test software saves you time by setting the stage 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 test software does much of this work for you. test software automatically configures the oscilloscope for each test, and it provides an informative results...

Configurability and Guided Connections continued.. In addition to providing you with measure- ment results, the 100GBASE-CR4 Ethernet electrical test software provides a report format that shows you not only where your product passes or fails, but also reports how close you are to the limits specified for a particular test. You can select the margin test report parameter, which means you can specify the level at which warnings are issued to alert you to electrical tests where your product is operating close to the official test limit defined by the 100GBASE-CR4 Setup | SelectTests | Configure...

Additional details are available for each test, including the test limits, test description, and test results, including waveforms, if appropriate. Margin Thresholds Figure 8. How close your device comes to passing or failing a test is indicated as a percentage in the margin field. A result highlighted in yellow or red indicates that your device has tripped the margin threshold level for a warning or failure.

Switch Matrix - Support for Multi-Lane Channels The Agilent switch matrix software option for the compliance application, used together with switch matrix hardware, enables fully- automated testing for multi-lane digital bus interfaces. The benefits of this automated switching solution include: • Eliminate reconnections, which saves time and reduces errors through automating test setup for each lane of a • Maintain accuracy with the use of unique InfiniiSim features to compensate for switch path losses and skew. • Customize testing by using remote user-defined application tool for device control,...
