PR Newswire (US)
DPOJET Software with State-Of-The-Art Oscilloscopes, the Only
Solution with Enough Record Length and Sample Rate on All Channels,
Delivers Ease of Use for Serial Data Design, Debug and Compliance
Test Challenges BEAVERTON, Ore., Oct. 22 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ --
Tektronix, Inc. (NYSE: TEK), a leading worldwide provider of test,
measurement and monitoring instrumentation, announced DPOJET, a new
Jitter and Eye Diagram Analysis software application for DPO7000
and DPO/DSA70000 Series oscilloscopes. DPOJET improves the
accuracy, speed, and efficiency of engineering test by expanding on
features from existing TDSJIT3 and TDSRTE products. New
capabilities in DPOJET include improved ease of use and performance
and the addition of advanced compliance measurements for high speed
serial data technologies including PCI Express and DisplayPort that
are only available using Tektronix equipment. The integration
within DPOJET enables an uninterrupted workflow from first silicon
analysis and characterization through product debug, validation and
test, to compliance test and standards certification. The software
is designed to take advantage of the industry-leading performance
found in the DPO7000 Series and the DPO/DSA70000 real-time
oscilloscopes -- the highest bandwidth, longest record length
real-time oscilloscopes in the world. Tektronix provides a full
suite of performance test equipment to enable the design validation
and interoperability and compliance testing of next generation
serial data technologies. "From clock analysis at 20MHz to 10Gb/s
serial data streams, DPOJET maximizes the timing and jitter
measurements of complex clock, digital, and serial data signals,"
said Brian Reich, General Manager, Performance Scope Product Line,
Tektronix. "DPOJET with our latest state-of-the-art oscilloscopes
is the only solution with enough record length and sample rate on
all channels to perform advanced measurements for PCI Express,
HDMI, and DisplayPort compliance. DPOJET provides our customers
with an advanced, easy to use tool for the efficient measurement
and characterization of serial devices" The DPOJET software
provides engineers with enhanced jitter and timing analysis
capability for debug and design verification, and multi-channel eye
diagram analysis complete with mask and measurement limits testing
capability for validation and compliance testing. DPOJET supports
several clock recovery options including patented software PLL,
patented real-time eye diagrams, explicit clocks with PLL
multipliers, as well as complex jitter analysis and compliance
testing with pass/fail limit checks. Ease of Use Jitter is an
extremely complex topic, with many ways to approach measurements.
More experienced engineers tend to get better answers due to the
intricacies of setting up the instrumentation correctly. DPOJET's
One Touch Wizard and Jitter Guide allows even engineers new to the
topic to make accurate and reliable jitter measurements, sometimes
with only the push of a single button. Flexibility Current
oscilloscope based jitter measurement tools provide only one eye
diagram on one channel. These same tools have a similar limitation
of only six to eight measurement slots for general purpose
measurements. DPOJET fully supports all source channels including
making measurements and eye diagrams of each channel
simultaneously. With DPOJET, engineers can view all of their PCI
Express, DisplayPort or HDMI signals in a coherent, time correlated
view. Analysis and Compliance in One Package Current jitter
measurement tools constrain users to specific roles: analysis or
compliance. Analysis tools offer little test support and compliance
tools offer little analysis support. DPOJET provides full analysis
capability and includes pass/fail limits testing capability.
Compliance testing now becomes a simple selection of predefined
setup files. DPOJET with the latest state-of-the-art oscilloscopes
from Tektronix provides the only solution capable to capture one
million unit intervals (UI) with a single acquisition and to
perform simultaneous reference clock and data-signal "dual port"
measurements without the use of external probes. For more
