Measurements (Continued)
Easier calibrations
IVI-COM capability
Calibrating your instrument has been simplified by placing all
the performance level indicators and calibration procedures in a
single high-level location. This provides greater confidence in the
measurements made and saves time in maintaining equipment.
Interchangeable Virtual Instruments (IVI) is a group of new
instrument device software specifications created by the IVI
Foundation to simplify interchangeability, increase application
performance, and reduce the cost of test program development
and maintenance through design code reuse. The 86100D
IVI-COM drivers are available for download from the Keysight
website.
Stimulus response testing using the Keysight
Technologies, Inc. N490X, M8000 Series BERTs
Error performance analysis represents an essential part of digital
transmission test products. Together, the Keysight 86100D and
BERT products create a powerful test solution. If stimulus only
is needed, the 81133A and 81134A pattern generators work
seamlessly with the 86100D.
VXII.2 and VXII.3 instrument control
The 86100D DCA-X provides LAN based instrument control.
Transitioning from the Keysight 83480A and
86100A/B/C to the 86100D
While the 86100D has powerful new functionality that its
predecessors don’t have, it has been designed to maintain
compatibility with the Keysight 86100A, 86100B, 86100C and
Keysight 83480A digital communications analyzers and Keysight
54750A wide-bandwidth oscilloscope. All modules used in the
Keysight 86100A/B/C, 83480A and 54750A can also be used in
the 86100D. Since the 86100D includes the classic DCA interface,
the remote programming command set for the 86100D designed
for the 86100A/B/C will work directly. Some code modifications
are required when transitioning from the 83480A and 54750A,
but the command set is designed to minimize the level of effort
required.
