Using the N4917BSCB Software
The information text below the drop box shows additional information
about the configuration variable, for example, its minimum or maximum
value as well as its precision (only applicable for numeric types)
The N4917BSCB compliance test application offers two configuration
modes:
• Compliance mode and Debug mode
In Compliance mode, specific user variables which represent specifications
cannot be edited. To allow changing these values (thus deviating from the
standard), switch to Debug mode.
Connect tab – Display hardware connection diagrams and test specific information
The
Connect
tab displays hardware connection diagrams before the start
of a test. This optional step allows the user to check the physical
connections between the devices to ensure compliance with the
standards.
Run tab – Run selected tests or measurements
The
Run
tab defines various settings to run tests and starts the selected
tests or the automation script created in the
Automate
tab.
Automate tab – Run automated scripts
The
Automate
tab starts any automation scripts created in the Test
Application.
Results & HTML Report tabs – Display test results
The
Results
tab and the
HTML Report
tab display the high-level and
detailed test and measurement results. Some tests return only a pass/fail
value and others return detailed measurement results (such as, scalar
values, tables or images captured from an Oscilloscope’s display).
The N4917BSCB 400G Optical Receiver Test Application also facilitates
exporting the measurement results and HTML reports into CSV, PDF files
or even to a Web Dataset Repository. For a detailed understanding of the
functionality of each tab and various features within the N4917BSCB 400G
