The industry's first quad-channel SFP interface for conformance testing and debugging solutions

Oscilloscope market makers announced that launched the first in the industry for four-channel SFP interfaces (QSFP +) compatible product consistency test and debug the solution.New QSFP + solution based on the liner the DPO/DSA/MSO70000 oscilloscope, including to design, test and verify the QSFP + design requires all the components, HCB fixture and the test automation and software debugging tools.
QSFP + is a compact for data communication applications can heat change the transceiver.It will network equipment main board (such as switches, routers, media converter and similar devices of the motherboard) through the interface connected to the cable.SFF committee released the latest specification of the data transmission rate reaches 4 x10gb/s and support serial connection SCSI, 40 g Ethernet, Infiniband 20 g / 40 g and other communication standards.Compared with the 10GBASE SFP+ Transceiver, QSFP + module port density increased by 3-4 times."
QSFP + evolve and sfp transceiver module, this means that engineers need comprehensive testing solutions to efficient and rapid verify its design and put them to the market", the company general manager of high-performance oscilloscope Brian Reich said, "our solutions to provide automatic conformance testing function, compared with manual test time can help customers to save as much as 80%, at the same time provide to our world-class seamless migration of debugging environment."
Unlike the other based on a sampling oscilloscope sfp plus transceiver test solutions, the new Tektronix SFP + QSFP + Tx solution is based on real-time oscilloscope, which is engaged in the preferred platform for QSFP + and SFF-8431 and SFF-8635 product design engineers. SFP + QSFP + Tx solution also provides support for Transmitter Waveform Distortion Penalty for Copper (TWDPc) test (SFF- 8431 standard requirements for this test), which is currently unique.
SFP + QSFP + Tx solution using a simple menu driven measurement Settings and provide one-click conformance testing, and automatic report generation "pass/fail", help to improve the efficiency of test and measurement.In addition to the standard consistency requirements, this solution also support the design verification, and configuration of the test, such as window and other parameters of flexible control.If the design of the conformance test failure, the user can use DPOJET (jitter) and timing analysis Settings file to reduce debugging time.
