Choose your tests
N1085A software provides comprehensive coverage of all PAM-4
tests that are specific to the Clause you are testing. You may
click on all tests, a group of tests, or individual tests. The full
test name appears in the test list, and is also shown in the test
results and reports. A description of the test and reference to the
Standard/IA are shown for each test.
Guided connection diagrams for easy setup
Simply follow the steps to connect and configure your device
under test (DUT) and click Run Tests. The N1085A and the DCA
will automatically measure your device using a wide range of
DCA plug-in modules such as the 86108B, N1045A and N1055A.
If 86100D-SIM is installed, the N1085A software can also be
configured to de-embed the effects of cables and fixtures.
–– Level Noise, Thickness, RMS, Linearity (RLM)
–– Eye Width (EW), Eye Height(EH) Measurements
Please pay attention to the scope connection
- This test is testing with Tx Enabled. Make sure Tx is enabled.
- Set device to a PRBS pattern.
- Connect the scope to the DUT Signals as follows:
–– Output Waveform Measurements
Phase trimmers >>
(recommended)
Transmitter in fixture/HCB/MCB
–– Jitter and Signaling Rate Measurements
Automated return loss measurements
When used in conjunction with an N1055A TDR or ENA/PNA
vector network analyzer, the N1085A software can perform
differential and common mode return loss measurements.
