Software upgrade to 81150A
Engineers working with serial buses or designers of analog, digital and mixed
signal devices require stressing their design with pattern. The Agilent 81150A
arbitrary bit shaped pattern generator allows sending ideal and real-world pat-
tern. The Agilent 81150A with arbitrary bit shaped pattern allows emulating
overshoot, asymmetric delay and duty cycle distortion up to 120 Mbit/s. Patterns
can be easily set up and distorted at your fingertips.

3-Level Signals
Bit and Block Trigger Mode
The 81150A Pattern Generator lets you define the transitions from bit to the other so that
the previous bit influences the current bit. The user can set up own defined arbitrary bit
shapes.
In addition to user-defined pattern standard pattern like PRBS up to 2 31 are available.
The Sequencer allows setting up a pre-amble sequence so that the Device under Test
moves into test mode. With the 3-Level signals it is no longer necessary to add different
signals for electrical idle. Up to 4 levels are available in the expert mode.
Besides standard trigger modes like continuous bit and block trigger modes allow
adoptions to application needs. In the bit mode you see that on every trigger, the
sequence is advanced by one bit. An application example is a bit clock, which
can be fed into an external clock then into the trigger input.
In the block mode the entire data block is generated once per trigger
event. This is interesting for example in applications with protocol data.
