UNH-IOL JBISTGUI Software
JBISTGUI utilizes the two channel mode of J-BERT N4903B and configures transmission of the necessary pattern sequences that can enable the BIST-L and BIST-TAS test modes for SATA host and device products. This Software simplifies Agilent’s receiver test setup by eliminating the need to switch between a protocol tester and J-BERT.

How much programming compatibility does exist between 81101A, 81104A, 81110A and 81150A, 81160A?
The implemented 81150A, 81160A SCPI command set is based on Agilent’s 81101A, 81104A, 81110A Pulse Pattern Generator product family. Therefore, most of the commands available for that instrument family are also available in the 81150A, 81160A models.

Using the 81150A as an arbitrary waveform generator
Although the 81150A is an arbitrary function generator (AFG), it can be used as an arbitrary waveform generator (AWG) with some limits. The key difference between an AFG and an AWG is how data for a digital-to-analog converter is internally genera...

Why are you offering 3 instruments in 1? What if my customer needs only one of these instruments?
In addition to precise pulses and trigger customers need to stress the device to its limits. In the past they used either a second channel or an additional instrument to distort the signal. With the new build-in capabilities real-world signals can...
