86100D DCA-X Wide-bandwidth Oscilloscope

Agilent product manager Robert Sleigh describes the 86100D DCA-X Wide-bandwidth Oscilloscope

The 86100D DCA-X has been engineered for unmatched accuracy, insight, and ease-of-use. In addition to providing industry leading signal integrity measurements, the DCA-X provides:

Powerful new INSIGHT

• Integrated de-embedding / embedding capability (using 86100D-SIM InfiniiSim-DCA license)
• Advanced signal processing such as filtering, FFT, differentiate and integrate functions
• New measurement capability, including Data Dependent Pulse Width Shrinkage (DDPWS), uncorrelated jitter (UJ), J2, J9 and more…

Improved USABILITY

• Dual user interfaces
  
  - FlexDCA -- a new customizable vector-based user interface for scope, eye, and jitter measurements
  
  - DCA-J “classic” user interface for 100% backwards compatibility
• Customizable user-interface
• Display up to 64 measurements simultaneously
• ONE button setups

Improved PRODUCTIVITY

• Built-in Waveform Simulator with random/periodic jitter and noise generator
• Live or Offline Signal Analysis (using N1010A FlexDCA Remote Access Software

NEXT GENERATION Platform

• Supports up to 16 channels (with future mini-modules) for testing high density ASIC/FPGA testing and parallel designs
• Vertical gain and offset controls that can be assigned to all channels and functions
• User-defined multipurpose button
• User-defined analog control knob
• 3X faster CPU than DCA-J
• 100% backwards compatibility with all DCA modules

MATLAB® software available directly from Agilent for making your own custom measurement and analysis routines, user-defined filters, or instrument applications. MATLAB software for Agilent oscilloscopes

Improves margins and helps to differentiate products for a wide range of applications such as:

• Transceiver Design and Manufacturing
• ASIC / FPGA / IC Design and Characterization
• Signal Integrity measurements on Serial Bus Designs, Cables, Printed Circuit Boards (PCB)
• And more! View ‘86100D Overview’ Video

Precision measurements on high-speed signals at the touch of one button!

• Scope Mode yields the most accurate waveform measurements
• Eye/Mask Mode provides fast and accurate compliance testing of transceivers
• TDR/TDT Mode for precision impedance measurements with S-Parameter capability
• Jitter and Amplitude Mode for comprehensive analysis of signal characteristics

Powerful analysis features provide greater insight

• Integrated de-embedding, embedding, and equalization capability View ‘De-embedding Demo’ Video
• Jitter Spectrum and Phase Locked Loop (PLL) Analysis
• Jitter analysis on long patterns such as PRBS31
• Custom measurements and analysis using The MathWorks MATLAB software

Lowest Cost of Test

• Dramatically improve your optical transceiver cost of test through new streamlined test procedures. View Video
• Optimized algorithms designed for manufacturing test
• Modular – buy only what you need today knowing you can upgrade later
• Protect your investment - the 86100D is 100% compatible with all DCA modules
