Introduction
Features
The N8828A 40GBASE-CR4 and 100GBASE-CR10 Ethernet electrical test software offers several features to simplify the validation of Ethernet designs:
With the 40GBASE-CR4 and 100GBASE CR10 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 IEEE802.3 standard.
Easy and Accurate 40GBASE-CR4 and 100GBASE-CR10 Ethernet Transmitter Design Validation and Debug
The Keysight Technologies, Inc. N8828A 40GBASE-CR4 and 100GBASE-CR10 Ethernet electrical performance validation and conformance software for Infiniium oscilloscopes provides you with an easy and accurate way to verify and debug your 40GBASE-CR4 and 100GBASE-CR10 Ethernet designs.
The Ethernet electrical test software allows you to automatically execute Ethernet physicallayer (PHY) electrical tests, and 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 N8828A 40GBASE-CR4 and 100GBASE-CR10 Ethernet Compliance software performs a wide range of electrical tests required to meet the IEEE 802.3 Clause 85 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 N8828A 40GBASE-CR4 and 100GBASE-CR10 Ethernet compliance software helps you execute a wide subset of the conformance tests that can be measured with an oscilloscope.
N8828A 40GBASE-CR4 and 100GBASE-CR10 Compliance Application Software Saves You Time
The 40GBASE-CR4 and 100GBASE-CR10 Ethernet electrical test software saves you time by setting the stage for automatic execution of 40GBASE-CR4 and 100GBASE-CR10 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. The 40GBASE-CR4 and 100GBASE-CR10 Ethernet electrical test software automatically configures the oscilloscope for each test, and it provides an informative results report that includes margin analysis indicating how close your product is to passing or failing that specification.
Easy test definition
The 40GBASE-CR4 and 100GBASE-CR10 Ethernet electrical test software extends the ease-of-use advantages of Keysight’s Infiniium oscilloscopes to testing 40GBASE-CR4 and 100GBASE CR10 designs. The Keysight automated test engine walks you quickly through the steps required to define the tests you want to make, set up the tests, perform the tests, and view the test results. A setup page enables you to quickly make decisions from the outset regarding the choice of tests and perform functions that affect the testing task. The test selections available in the following steps are then filtered according to the choices made in the setup page. While selecting tests, you can select a category of tests all at once, or specify individual tests. You can save tests and configurations as project files and recall them later for quick testing and review of previous test results. Straightforward menus let you perform tests with a minimum of mouse clicks.
