Use the Data Channel
Introduction
The Agilent Technologies E6701A Lab Application shortens the GPRS wireless appliance
design cycle with a one-box solution for parametric and signaling design validation.
The E6701A Lab Application (LA) is an option for the Agilent 8960 Series 10 (E5515B or
E5515C) Wireless Communications Test Set. With this option, R&D integration engineers
working on functional verification of GPRS wireless appliance firmware and hardware now have
access to a flexible, comprehensive, and easy-to-use one-box solution for quickly and accurately
validating a product’s parametric and signaling design requirements.
The Agilent 8960 Test Set, the industry standard for testing cellular handsets, now
accommodates many requirements of GPRS wireless appliance R&D engineers. The platform’s
new E6701A software retains the measurement and call processing capability of the E1964A
GPRS Mobile Test Application, which establishes a vital link between design and
manufacturing. The ability to use the same equipment in R&D and production allows for a rapid
and smooth transition from one phase in the product lifecycle to the next, as well as improved
troubleshooting processes.
The Test Set’s protocol logging capabilities facilitate testing and troubleshooting of new
signaling features and data channels, so engineers can extract better information about their
designs. Two-way IP data communication, when set up between a device and a network,
provides real data flow on a real data channel, enabling R&D integration engineers to test more
of the data handling performance of a GPRS device. Users of the E6701A can set timing advance
and cell parameters, which allows for testing and troubleshooting issues related to timing and
base station configuration.
