Additional capabilities
Waveform autoscaling
Autoscaling provides quick horizontal and vertical scaling of both pulse
and eye-diagram (RZ and NRZ) waveforms.
Gated triggering
Trigger gating port allows easy external control of data acquisition for
circulating loop or burst-data experiments. Use TTL compatible signals to
control when the instrument does and does not acquire data.
Easier calibrations
Calibrating your instrument has been simplified by placing all the perfor-
mance level indicators and calibration procedures in a single high-level
location. This provides greater confidence in the measurements made and
saves time in maintaining equipment.
Stimulus response testing using the Agilent N490X BERTs
Error performance analysis represents an essential part of digital trans-
mission test. The Agilent 86100D and N490X BERT have similar user
interfaces and together create a powerful test solution. If stimulus only
is needed, the 81133A and 81134A pattern generators work seamlessly
with the 86100D.
Transitioning from the Agilent 83480A and 86100A/B/C to
the 86100D
While the 86100D has powerful new functionality that its predecessors
don’t have, it has been designed to maintain compatibility with the Agilent
86100A, 86100B, 86100C and Agilent 83480A digital communications
analyzers and Agilent 54750A wide-bandwidth oscilloscope. All modules
used in the Agilent 86100A/B/C, 83480A and 54750A can also be used
in the 86100D. Since the 86100D includes the classic DCA interface,
the remote programming command set for the 86100D designed for the
86100A/B/C will work directly. Some code modifications are required
when transitioning from the 83480A and 54750A, but the command set is
designed to minimize the level of effort required.
SCPI programming tools for FlexDCA
To facilitate easier and faster remote code development, the FlexDCA user
interface includes several SCPI programming tools. The SCPI recorder, for
example, records user interaction (via the scope front panel, mouse, or
touchscreen) and reports the equivalent SCPI remote-programming com-
mand to the user via a Record/Playback pop-up window.
IVI-COM capability
Interchangeable Virtual Instruments (IVI) is a group of new instrument
device software specifications created by the IVI Foundation to simplify
interchangeability, increase application performance, and reduce the
cost of test program development and maintenance through design code
reuse. The 86100D IVI-COM drivers are available for download from the
Agilent website.
VXII.2 and VXII.3 instrument contro
The 86100D DCA-X provides LAN based instrument control.
Quick measure configuration
When using the classic DCA interface, “Quick Measure” measurements
are initiated by pressing the <Multi-Purpose> button on the front panel.
• Four user-selectable measurements for Each Mode, Eye-mask,
TDR, etc.
• Default Settings (Eye/Mask mode) Extinction Ratio, Jitter RMS,
Average Power, Crossing Percentage
• Default Settings(scope Mode) Rise Time, Fall Time, Period, Vamptd
Histograms
Configure
• Histogram scale (1 to 8 divisions)
• Histogram axis (vertical or horizontal)
• Histogram window (adjustable window via marker knob)
Math measurements — Classic DCA user interface
• Four user-definable functions operator magnify, invert, subtract,
versus, min, max
• Source — Channel, function, memory, constant, response (TDR)
Signal processing measurements — FlexDCA
