Introduction
About QualiPHY
QualiPHY is a 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: Parameter interconnect losses can be factored into the
parametric results.
• 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.
