Data Sheet
TekExpress USB 3.0 Automated Test Software (Option USB-TX) – TekExpress
USB 3.0 provides an automated, simple, and efficient way to test USB 3.0 Transmitter
hosts and devices consistent with the requirements of the SuperSpeed Universal Serial
Bus Electrical Compliance Test Specification. The application automates selection of
appropriate CTLE and reference channel emulation filters and measurement selections
based on device type, test type, test points, and selected probes. In addition, USB-TX
leverages DPOJET allowing for debug and advanced characterization of USB 3.0
solutions.
TekExpress SATA Automated Compliance Test Software – Complete support for
SATA Gen1 and SATA Gen2 defined test suites. Reduce your compliance test time
by approximately 70% with simple, efficient automation of all required test suites with
TekExpress software. Also included is auto-recognition of all required test equipment,
precise DUT/Host control, and one-button testing.
TekExpress™ Software Automation Framework
The TekExpress software automation framework has been developed for
automated one-button testing of high-speed serial data standards. Built
on top of National Instruments TestStand product, TekExpress efficiently
executes the required tests for many serial standards like SATA Rev 3.0,
SDLA - Serial Data Link Analysis (options SLE and SLA) – Offers the capability
to emulate the serial data channel, de-embed a fixture or other network, and add or
remove transmitter equalization. Option SLA adds processing of waveforms with FFE
and DFE equalizations and automatic equalizer training. DPOJET provides advanced
measurement and jitter analysis of the resulting waveforms.
USB 3.0, DisplayPort and 10GBase-T Ethernet. Run on an external
Windows PC, the TekExpress SATA software orchestrates the instrument
setup and control sequences to provide complete test results for complete
design validation.
Beyond using the TekExpress framework, custom applications that you
develop yourself using application development environments such as
MATLAB
®
can further extend the tool set of the DPO/DSA70000B and
MSO70000 Series.
Characterization measurements depend upon accuracy and repeatability.
The wide bandwidth and unmatched signal fidelity of the DPO/DSA70000B
and MSO70000 analog front end ensures that your signal quality
measurements such as rise times are faithful with capture of the signal’s 5th
harmonic and flatness of ±0.5 dB.
Custom Filter and De-Embed Capability
Create your own filters or use the filters provided as standard with the
DPO/DSA70000B and MSO70000 Series to enhance your ability to isolate
or remove a component of your signal (noise or specific harmonics of
the signal). These customizable FIR filters can be used to implement
signal-processing techniques, such as removing signal pre-emphasis or
minimizing the effects of fixtures and cables connected to the device under
test. Using the optional Serial Data Link Analysis (SDLA) application,
you can gain further insight into serial data links with the capability to
emulate the serial data channel from its S-parameters, de-embed the
fixture or other network, and add or remove transmitter equalization
(de-emphasis/pre-emphasis).
