Tektronix DPO-UP 40G-CR4

Product Highlights

The Tektronix TekExpress 40GBase-CR4 Debug and Automated Compliance Solution application (Option 40G-CR4) provides design engineers with an easy-to-use automated solution to test and debug 40GBASE-CR4 designs, using off-the-shelf tools, to reduce human-related measurement errors and shorten the design cycle.

• Tektronix 40G-CR4 debug and automated compliance solution meets the compliance test and debug needs of engineers working on IEEE 802.3-2012 40GBASE-CR4 designs
• Tektronix 40G-CR4 operates on a real time oscilloscope platform, which is the platform of choice for engineers working on designing their products around 40GBASE-CR4 technology
• Option 40G-CR4 provides both an automation solution (for compliance) and DPOJET option (for debug), saving users up to 80% on testing time as compared to manual testing
• The 40G-CR4 solution provides measurements for electrical characterization of 40GBASE-CR4 signal at TP2 and TP0.
• Design engineers can seamlessly move from compliance testing to a debug environment and use the world-class Tektronix DPOJET debug tool
• A user-defined mode enables flexible parameter control for characterization and margin analysis
• The user-defined mode supports PRBS7, PRBS11, PRBS15, PRBS20, PRBS23, and PRBS31 patterns, and supports PRBS9 and 1010 patterns in compliance mode
• A complete programmatic interface lets users call 40G-CR4 functions using custom automation scripts
• 40G-CR4 provides setup files to load n1n0, PRBS11 and PRBS31 patterns and 40G-CR4 measurements into the oscilloscope and DPOJET, to quickly set the oscilloscope and software to a debug environment
• A new intuitive user interface and framework decreases testing time and learning curve for end users
• Measurements are grouped by the signal types best suited for the measurement, which reduces user intervention
• End-users can connect remotely to a test setup and receive e-mails with measurement results
• 40G-CR4 provides design engineers with many built-in reporting features such as appending the report, auto-incrementing the report name, and including user comments, to tailor the measurement result data to their reporting requirements
• Provides customers with a Tektronix floating license installation option
