Waveform autoscaling
Autoscaling provides quick horizontal and vertical scaling
of both pulse and eye-diagram (RZ and NRZ) waveforms.
Time domain reflectometery/time domain
transmission (TDR/TDT)
High-speed design starts with the physical structure.
The transmission and reflection properties of electrical
channels and components must be characterized to
ensure sufficient signal integrity. Reflections and signal
distortions must be kept at a minimum. Use TDR and
TDT to optimize microstrip lines, PC board traces, SMA
edge launchers and coaxial cables.
Calibration techniques, unique to the 86100C, provide
highest precision by removing cabling and fixturing
effects from the measurement results. Translation of
TDR data to complete single-ended, differential, and
mixed mode S-parameters are available through the
N1930A Physical Layer Test System software. Higher
two-event resolution and ultra high-speed impedance
measurements are facilitated through TDR pulse
enhancers from Picosecond Pulse Labs

Gated triggering
Trigger gating port allows easy external control of data
acquisition for circulating loop or burst-data
experiments. Use TTL-compatible signals to control
when the instrument does and does not acquire data.
Easier calibrations
Calibrating your instrument has been simplified by
placing all the performance level indicators and
calibration procedures in a single high-level location.
This provides greater confidence in the measurements
made and saves time in maintaining equipment.
Stimulus response testing
Using the Agilent N490XA Serial BERT
Error performance analysis represents an essential part
of digital transmission test. The Agilent 86100C and
N490XA Serial BERT have similar user interfaces and
together create a powerful test solution.
Transitioning from the Agilent 83480A and
86100A/B to the 86100C
While the 86100C has powerful new functionality that
its predecessors don’t have, it has been designed to
maintain compatibility with the Agilent 86100A, 86100B
and Agilent 83480A digital communications analyzers
and Agilent 54750A wide-bandwidth oscilloscope. All
modules used in the Agilent 86100A/B, 83480A and
54750A can also be used in the 86100C. The remote
programming command set for the 86100C has been
designed so that code written for the 86100A or 86100B
will work directly. Some code modifications are required
when transitioning from the 83480A and 54750A, but
the command set is designed to minimize the level of
effort required.
