04 | Keysight | Infiniium DCA-X 86100D Wide-Bandwidth Oscilloscope Mainframe and Modules - Data Sheet
Overview of the Infiniium DCA-X
The 86100D DCA-X can be viewed as four powerful instruments in one:
Scope mode
Jitter mode
High-fidelity waveform characterization (Yellow: raw trace, Blue:
de-embedded waveform)
Precision jitter, amplitude, and frequency analysis capability
Eye/Mask mode
TDR/TDT mode
Fast transmitter characterization using eye diagram analysis and
automated mask margin measurements
Accurate time domain reflectometry/transmission and S-Parameter
measurements
These modes are further complimented by the following features
that provide additional insight and analysis capability:
– De-embedding, embedding, equalizer capability
– Phase noise/Jitter spectrum analysis
– Phase locked loop (PLL) analysis
Modular
The modular system means that the instrument can grow to
meet your needs, when you need it. There’s no need to purchase
capability that you don’t need now. The DCA-X supports a wide
range of modules for testing optical and electrical designs. Select
modules to get the specific bandwidth, filtering, and sensitivity
you need. The DCA-X supports all modules in the DCA family and
is 100% backwards compatible with the 86100C mainframe.
– And more…
Precision measurements, more margin, and more
insight
High channel count
The 86100D DCA-X oscilloscope combines high analog
bandwidth, low jitter, and low noise performance to accurately
characterize optical and electrical designs from 50 Mb/s to over
80 Gb/s. The mainframe provides the foundation for powerful
insight and measurement capability, such as de-embedding of
cables and fixtures, that improve margins and allow engineers to
see the true performance of their designs.
The DCA-X can measure from one to 16 channels simultaneously
with no significant loss in throughput. Create an affordable high-
capacity test system by measuring multiple signals in parallel.
Software
The DCA-X provides powerful analysis capability that is enabled
through licensed software options.
Examples include 86100D-200 for fast and accurate jitter
analysis, 86100D-SIM for de-embedding and/or embedding of
fixtures and cables, and the N1012A/N1014A/N108XA Series test
applications.
