6 Keysight N5991 SATA Test Automation Software Platform User Guide
1 Introduction
Overview
The BitifEye “ValiFrame” Test Automation software is globally marketed
and supported by Keysight Technologies as N5991. This document
describes the calibrations and test procedures conducted by N5991
ValiFrame for SATA (Serial Advanced Technology Attachment) in detail.
The N5991 software implements the RSG (Receiver Signal Requirements)
tests according to the UTD (Unified Test Document) specification and also
offers some custom characterization tests to provide more details on DUT
behavior beyond the limits. The RSG tests are conducted to verify that the
Receiver can handle maximum stress signals according to the
specification.
The N5991 SATA Receiver tests support the Keysight Technologies
J-BERT M8020A and M8040A high-performance serial BERT (Bit Error
Ratio Tester). A Keysight Infiniium oscilloscope is always required.
