The CSA7000 Series of Communications
Signal Analyzers reduces product develop-
ment time by providing one tool that spans
circuit development and physical layer testing.
With the CSA7000 Series, engineers can
test designs for compliance to network
communications standards as well as analyze
critical internal parameters such as signal
integrity, timing margins and jitter.
The CSA7000 Series analyzers integrate
broad wavelength optical response, clock
recovery, serial pattern triggering and mask
testing into the highest performance digital
phosphor oscilloscopes. Instrument opera-
tion is familiar and intuitive through direct
controls and a graphical interface. Open
access to the Windows operating system
enables unprecedented customization and
extensibility. This unique combination of
performance, simplicity and connectivity
speeds the development of network com-
munications circuit designs.
Superior Performance
Industry Leading DPO
Up to 4 GHz bandwidth and high-speed
single-shot signal acquisition combined
with up to 32 MB memory provide critical
insight into design behavior. In addition,
patented 3rd generation DPX
TM
technology
enables waveform capture rates of more
than 400,000 waveforms per second.
High performance jitter analysis is achieved
through exceptional trigger and acquisition
performance, deep memory and applied
software. Versatile high bandwidth probes,
including 6 GHz single-ended and 5 GHz
differential models ensure high fidelity
access to signals.
