N5990A Automated Compliance and Device Characterization Tests

The Agilent N5990A test automation software platform is the most powerful tool for serial and multi-lane gigabit testing. It is the unique universal platform for testing a wide range of digital buses such as PCI Express®, USB 2.0 or HDMI. The N5990A can be tailored to your individual test needs with the flexible test sequenzer and controls all instruments needed for your tests. The configurable database interface of the N5990A test automation platform enables the convenient storage of all test results. A web interface allows an effective and easy operation.

The N5990A software takes test automation to the next level of performance and convenience. It addresses specific bus standards by individual software modules with the same look and feel. All modules share the same user interface which increases efficiency and productivity. As an example, the option 101 PCI Express receiver test software module provides the most complete PCI Express receiver test for multi-lane devices with:

• One-button compliance capability to simplify the test procedure.
• Compliance sweeps using the proper stimulus signal including calibrated jitter. This reduces measurement time to a minimum.
• Printed and electronic versions of compliance test and characterization data ensure the simple and accurate documentation of results.
• Precise characterization of the physical signal performance allows margin analysis.
• Integrated sources for periodic jitter, random jitter and bounded uncorrelated jitter stress generation.
• Support for ParBERT and J-BERT High-Performance Serial BERT

The N5990A platform and its specific receiver test options ideally complement the transmitter performance validation and compliance test software products of the Agilent Infiniium series of oscilloscopes.

The option 150 HDMI receiver (sink) test module reduces the time needed for calibration and test execution with conventional, stand-alone applications by about 50%. N5990A's transmitter test interface options enhance the oscilloscope applications by e.g. providing remote control and data upload from the oscilloscopes to a PC controller. The Agilent partner BitifEye Digital Test Solutions, a specialist for test automation, provides customizations and integrated solutions based on N5990A and the Agilent instrument portfolio.
