D9010SFPC SFP+ and QSFP+ Compliance Test Application Software

The Keysight Technologies, Inc. D9010SFPC SFP+ and QSFP+ compliance test application provides a fast and effortless way to test, debug and characterize your SFP+ and QSFP+ Ethernet designs. The Keysight D9010SFPC SFP+ and QSFP+ Compliance Test Application Software for Infiniium real-time oscilloscopes saves you time and money by automating the task of preforming compliance measurements. The tests performed by the software are based on the SFF-8431 standard. The D9010SFPC SFP+ and QSFP+ also covers tests found in the IEEE 802.3ba Annex 86A standard. Performing these tests gives you confidence in your design. The D9010SFPC SFP+ and QSFP+ Compliance Test Application Software helps you execute a wide subset of the compliance tests using an oscilloscope. The test application offers a user-friendly setup wizard and a comprehensive report that includes margin analysis.

Transform complexity into simplicity

• Complete coverage of the SFP+ and QSFP+ transmitter electrical specifications as described in SFF-8431 standard.

• Complete coverage of the 10GSFP+Cu transmitter electrical specification as described in the SFF-8431 Revision 4.1 standard.

• Complete coverage of the XLPPI transmitter electrical specifications as described in the IEEE802.3ba, Annex 86A standard.

• Automated measurement setup and programming of oscilloscope for increased accuracy, time-savings and repeatability.

• Automated test engine with extremely user-friendly interface, allowing you to set up instruments and select and configure tests to be run, resulting in a comprehensive report of test results with margin analysis.

• With the D9010SFPC SFP+ and QSFP+ Compliance Test Application Software, you can use the same oscilloscope you use for everyday debugging to perform automated testing and margin analysis.

D9010SFPC SFP+ and QSFP+ Compliance Test Application Software Saves You Time

The D9010SFPC SFP+ and QSFP+ Compliance Test Application Software saves you time by setting the stage for automatic execution of SFF-8431 standard, SFF-8431 Revision 4.1 standard, and IEEE802.3ba, Annex 86A standard electrical tests. Part of the difficulty of performing electrical tests for Ethernet transmitters is properly connecting to the oscilloscope, loading the proper setup files, and then analyzing the measured results by comparing them to limits published in the specification. The Ethernet electrical compliance test application software does much of this work for you. The D9010SFPC SFP+ and QSFP+ Compliance Test Application Software automatically configures the oscilloscope for each test, and it provides an informative results report that includes margin analysis indicating how close your product is to passing or failing that test specification.

Easy test definition

The D9010SFPC SFP+ and QSFP+ Compliance Test Application Software extends the ease-of-use advantages of Keysight’s Infiniium oscilloscopes to testing SFF-8431 standard, SFF-8431 Revision 4.1 standard, and IEEE802.3ba, Annex 86A designs. The Keysight automated test engine walks you quickly through the steps required to define the tests you want to make, set up the tests, perform the tests, and view the test results. A setup page enables you to quickly make decisions from the outset regarding the choice of tests and perform functions that affect the testing task. The test selections available in the following steps are then filtered according to the choices made in the setup page. While selecting tests, you can select a category of tests all at once or specify individual tests. You can save tests and configurations as project files and recall them later for quick testing and review of previous test results. Straightforward menus let you perform tests with a minimum of mouse clicks.

Configurability and Guided Connection

The D9010SFPC SFP+ and QSFP+ Compliance Test Application Software provides flexibility in your test setup. The application lets you define controls for critical test parameters such as signaling rate, rise/fall time averages used for analysis and customizable violation settings. Once you have configured the tests, the connection page will display the connection diagram for the test you have selected. The compliance application guides you to make connection changes with hookup diagrams when the tests you select require it. You connect the oscilloscope to the device under test using the Wilder SFP+ or QSFP+ test fixture (www.wilder-tech.com). SMA cables may be required to attach the Wilder test fixtures to the Keysight Infiniium oscilloscope. See ordering information for more details.
