Introduction

About QualiPHY

QualiPHY is highly automated compliance test software meant to help you develop and validate
the PHY (physical-electrical) layer of a device, in accordance with the official documents
published by the applicable standards organizations and special interest groups (SIGs). You can
additionally set custom variables and limits to test compliance to internal standards.

QualiPHY is composed of a

“framework” application that enables the configuration and control

of separate tests for each standard through a common user interface. Features include:

Multiple Data Source Capability: Connect to your X-Stream oscilloscope via LAN or

other interfaces.

User-Defined Test Limits: Tighten limits to ensure devices are well within the passing

region, even if subsequently measured with different equipment.

Flexible Test Results Reporting that includes XML Test Record Generation.

Understand a device performance distribution, or obtain process related information from
the devices under test.
