Compliance and automation testing: Switch matrix support
Comprehensive testing, eastily achieved
Eliminate reconnections (reducing errors)
Compliance applications on Agilent’s 90000 X-Series now
support a switch matrix, making testing simple by automating
test for each lane of a multi-lane bus. Typical testing requires
reconnecting the oscilloscope each time that you switch a
lane, which causes wasted time and inaccuracies. The 90000
X-Series solves this problem by supporting switch matrix
through its compliance test. Simply connect the switch to the
oscilloscope and all the lanes, and then hit run to complete
full testing of your entire device.
Maintain accuracy
The framework fully supports Agilent’s PrecisionProbe soft-
ware (N2809A) and InfiniiSim software (N5465A). This gives
you the ability to characterize every switch path to the device
under test (both magnitude and skew) and ensure that all of
them maintain the same level of accuracy.
Customize your testing
Use the remote programming interface (standard feature on
the 90000 X-Series) and N5467A user-defined application for
device control, instrument control and test customization.
Skews between switch paths are easily maintained with Agilent’s
unique software
