In the PeRT
3
drop-down menu, select the PC that is connected to the PeRT
3
Eagle
System you want to control. Typically this will be the local PC, but this allows remote
operation of a PeRT
3 Eagle system as long as there is a network connection between the
two PC systems.
Once a PeRT
3
PC server is selected, if PeRT
3
hardware is connected to that system then
the Eagle PeRT
3
digital subsystem ("Eagle R6") and the analog front end ("Eagle FE6")
associated with that system will be shown underneath the system name.
The Channels drop-down menu allows you to select the number of channels you wish to
test, up to the maximum number supported by the specific PeRT
3
Eagle System
selected.
Connecting the Device Under Test
The PeRT
3
Eagle System is intended for testing of serial data communication links and
components. Depending on the specific device under test, the connectors will vary, and
the means of connecting to the SMA connectors on the PeRT
3 Eagle front panel will also
vary.
The PeRT 3 Eagle front panel provides SMA connectors for each of the
conductors in each differential pair, labeled as (+) and (-). So a single
differential pair has two SMA connectors, and a bidirectional channel
has four connectors. There will be four SMA connections for each
channel supported by the device.
The PeRT
3
Eagle can be connected to the DUT using a test board or
custom interface. For assistance in the requirements for these
connections, please contact LeCroy Support.
