Three Instruments in One
For basic oscilloscope operation there is easy front
panel access with that familiar analog-look and feel.
A Windows®-based system let’s you easily navigate
through the user-interface. The 86100A Infiniium DCA
can be viewed as three high-performance instruments
in one. It’s a general-purpose repetitive sampling oscil-
loscope. It’s a digital communications analyzer. It’s a
time domain reflectometer. Just select the instrument
mode and start making measurements.
Digital Communications Analysis
Accurate eye-diagram analysis is essential for charac-
terizing the quality of transmitters used from 100 Mb/s
to 40 Gb/s. The 86100A was designed specifically for
the complex task of analyzing digital communications
waveforms. Compliance mask and parametric testing
no longer require a complicated sequence of setups
and configurations. If you can press a button, you can
perform a complete compliance test. The important
measurements you need are right at your fingertips,
including:
• industry standard mask testing with built-in margin
analysis,
• extinction ratio measurements with improved accu-
racy and repeatability, and
• eye measurements: crossing %, eye height and width,
‘1’ and ‘0’ levels, jitter, rise or fall times and more.
The key to accurate measurements of lightwave
communications waveforms is the optical receiver. The
86100A has a broad range of precision receivers inte-
grated within the instrument.
• Built-in photodiodes, with flat frequency responses,
yield the highest waveform fidelity. This provides
high accuracy for extinction ratio measurements.
• Standards-based transmitter compliance measure-
ments require filtered responses. The 86100A has a
broad range of filter combinations. Filters can be
automatically and repeatably switched in or out of
the measurement channel remotely over GPIB or
with a front panel button. The frequency response
of the entire measurement path is calibrated, and
will maintain its performance over long-term usage.
• The integrated optical receiver provides a calibrated
optical channel. With the accurate optical power
meter built into the module, optical signals are accu-
rately measured and displayed in optical power
units. Switches or couplers are not required for an
average power measurement. Signal routing is
simplified and signal strength is maintained.
Eye Diagram Mask Testing
The 86100A provides efficient, high-throughput wave-
form compliance testing with a suite of standards
based eye-diagram masks. The test process has been
streamlined into a minimum number of keystrokes for
testing at industry standard data rates.
Standard Masks
• 1X Gigabit Ethernet
• 2X Gigabit Ethernet
• 10X Gigabit Ethernet
• Fibre Channel 0133
• Fibre Channel 0266
• Fibre Channel 1063
• Fibre Channel 2125
• STM0/OC1
• STM1/OC3
• STM4/OC12
• STM16/OC48
• STM64/OC192
• STS1 EYE
• STS3 EYE
Other eye-diagram masks are easily created through
scaling those listed above. In addition, mask editing
allows for new masks either by editing existing masks,
or creating new masks from scratch. The mask data
can be entered or modified on an external PC using a
text editor such as Notepad, then can be transferred to
the instrument’s hard drive using LAN or the A: drive.
Once in the instrument, the mask can be used for
mask test.
Perform these mask conformance tests with conve-
nient user-definable measurement conditions, such as
mask margins for guardband testing, number of wave-
forms tested, and stop/limit actions.
Measurement Speed
Measurement speed has been increased with both fast
hardware and a user-friendly instrument. In the lab,
don’t waste time trying to figure out how to make a
