Controlling a Real-Time Oscilloscope from M8070A
The M8070A system software (version 4.0 and above) supports certain
real-time oscilloscopes to measure BER of NRZ signals and BER as well as
SER of PAM4 signals. The real-time oscilloscope is completely controlled
from M8070A to capture a signal and convert into a pattern stream that is
then uploaded into the M8070A for comparison with an expected pattern
and provide BER/SER measurements.
Nevertheless, it is possible to stop measuring BER on the integrated
oscilloscope and therefore allow interactive tweaking of oscilloscope
settings before continuing the BER measurements.
Currently, the following oscilloscopes are supported:
• DSOZ634A
• DSAZ634A
• DSOX96204Q
• DSAX96204Q
Detailed description of the above oscilloscopes can be found at:
http://www.keysight.com/find/oscilloscopes
The following licenses are required on the oscilloscope:
• N5384A Serial Data Analysis (SDA)
• N8827A PAM4 Measurement (PM4)
• N5461A Equalization (DEQ)
All measurements will be done using the Real Edge inputs of the
oscilloscope. The achievable target BER is 1e-6.
The minimum supported Infiniium version is 06.10.00616.
