Configure your solution in three ways
The hardware and software architecture provides wide flexibility.
The N1085A PAM4 measurement application may be run as
follows:
1. 86100D DCA-X runs N1085A PAM4 software application
locally and controls remote ENA/PNA via LAN
2. PC runs N1085A PAM4 software application and controls
remote 86100D DCA-X, ENA/PNA via LAN
3. PC runs both N1085A software application and N1010A
FlexDCA and controls remote 86100D DCA-X, ENA/PNA
via LAN
This lets you use your PC for more processing power and other
applications, or you can have all measurement capability
consolidated into a compact solution. For return loss
measurements, the N1085A can control an N1055A TDR or
ENA/PNA vector network analyzer to perform measurements
automatically.

Keysight offers a wide range of electrical and optical test
solutions to address current and emerging communications
standards. When testing PAM-4 electrical designs, you may
choose a hardware combination that fits your device data rate
and other higher rate tests for other standards. Each row shows
the recommended configuration of hardware and software to
measure the many parameters. The multi-module approach is
useful for designers who may already own a plug-in module.
