Agilent Technologies N5394A
DVI electrical performance
validation and compliance
software for Infiniium Series
oscilloscopes provides you with
a fast and easy way to verify and
debug your digital visual interface
(DVI) designs for add-in cards,
cables and motherboard systems.
The DVI electrical test software
allows you to automatically
execute DVI electrical checklist
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.
To make measurements with
the N5394A DVI electrical test
software, you also need the DVI
Compliance Test Kit test fixtures,
available through the DDWG¹
or Silicon Image, for hardware
clock recovery and making
measurements.
The N5394A DVI electrical test
software performs a wide range
of tests required to meet the
DVI-1.0 electrical specifications
for add-in cards, cables and
motherboard systems as
documented in section 4 of
the base specification by the
DDWG¹. To meet signal quality
requirements, your product must
successfully pass compliance
testing based on the DVI
specification. You must perform
the tests included on the checklist
before you submit your product
for full compliance testing.
The N5394A DVI electrical test
software helps you execute a
subset of the checklist tests
for transmitters (Tx) and cables
that can be measured with
an oscilloscope.
Features
The N5394A DVI electrical test
software offers several features
to simplify the validation of
DVI designs:
• Test setup wizard for ease-of-
use
• All of the electrical tests
specified by DVI test
specification, full compliance
of DVI tests
• Measurement process
configurability
• Automated oscilloscope
measurement setup
• Test results report generation
• Pass/fail margin analysis
With the DVI electrical test
software, you can use the same
oscilloscope you use for everyday
debugging to perform automated
testing and margin analysis based
on the DVI-specified test checklist.
