PatternLock Triggering
The Enhanced Trigger Option (Option 001) on the 86100C
provides a fundamental capability never available
before in an equivalent time sampling oscilloscope.
This new triggering mechanism enables the DCA-J to
generate a trigger at the repetition of the input data
pattern – a pattern trigger. Historically, this capability
required the pattern source to provide this type of
trigger output to the scope. PatternLock automatically
detects the pattern length, data rate and clock rate
making the complex triggering mechanism transparent
to the user.
PatternLock enables the 86100C to behave more like a
real-time oscilloscope in terms of user experience.
Investigation of specific bits within the data pattern is
greatly simplified. Users that are familiar with real-time
oscilloscopes, but perhaps less so with equivalent time
sampling scopes will be able to ramp up quickly.
PatternLock adds another new dimension to pattern
triggering by enabling the mainframe software to take
samples at specific locations in the data pattern with
outstanding timebase accuracy. This capability is a
building block for many of the new capabilities available
in the 86100C described later.
Four Instruments in One
The 86100C Infiniium DCA-J can be viewed as four
high-powered instruments in one:
• A general-purpose wide-bandwidth sampling
oscilloscope; the new PatternLock triggering
significantly enhances the usability as a general
purpose scope
• A digital communications analyzer; the new
Eyeline Mode feature adds a powerful new tool to eye
diagram analysis
• A time domain reflectometer
• A jitter analyzer
Just select the instrument mode and start making
measurements.
Configurable to meet your needs
The 86100C supports a wide range of plug-ins for testing
both optical and electrical signals. Select plug-ins to get
the specific bandwidth, filtering, and sensitivity you need.
Jitter Analysis
The “J” in DCA-J represents jitter analysis. The 86100C
is a Digital Communications Analyzer with Jitter
analysis capability. The 86100C adds a fourth mode
of operation – Jitter Mode.
As data rates increase in both electrical and optical
applications, jitter is an ever increasing measurement
challenge. Decomposition of jitter into its constituent
components is becoming more critical. It provides
critical insight for jitter budgeting and performance
optimization in device and system designs. Many
emerging standards require jitter decomposition for
compliance. Traditionally, techniques for separation of
jitter have been complex and often difficult to configure,
and availability of instruments for separation of jitter
becomes very limited as data rates increase.
The DCA-J provides simple, one button setup and
execution of advanced waveform analysis. Jitter Mode
decomposes jitter into its constituent components and
presents jitter data in various insightful displays. Jitter
Mode operates at all data rates the 86100C supports,
removing the traditional data rate limitations from
complex jitter analysis. The 86100C brings several
key attributes to jitter analysis:
• Very low intrinsic jitter (both random and
deterministic) translates to a very low jitter noise
floor which provides unmatched jitter measurement
sensitivity.
• Wide bandwidth measurement channels deliver very
low intrinsic data dependent jitter and allow analysis
of jitter on all data rates up to 40 Gb/s and beyond.
• PatternLock triggering technology provides sampling
efficiency that makes jitter measurements very fast.
Jitter analysis functionality is segmented into two
software package options. Option 100 is the standard
jitter analysis software, and Option 101 is the advanced
waveform analysis software. Option 100 includes:
• Decomposition of jitter into Total Jitter (TJ), Random
Jitter (RJ), Deterministic Jitter (DJ), Periodic Jitter
(PJ), Data Dependent Jitter (DDJ), Duty Cycle
Distortion (DCD), and Jitter induced by Intersymbol
Interference (ISI).
• Various graphical and tabular displays of jitter data
• Export of jitter data to convenient delimited text
format
• Save / recall of jitter database
