Test Software
The BitifEye software products are optimized for automated compliance test and characterization and debugging. They offer unprecedented performance and ease-of-use.

Multi Application Test Automation Software Platform:
The BitifEye
Test Automation Software Platform ValiFrame provides automated compliance testing and characterization for established and emerging digital serial high speed buses. It currently supports PCI Express®, USB, SATA, HDMI, DisplayPort and MIPI D-PHY and M-PHY. ValiFrame is sold through Agilent Technologies as N5990A. For details, including data sheet and application notes, see the Agilent N5990A web page.

Debugging Tools:
BitifEye provides a range of software tools primarily aiming at semi-automatic product debug and trouble-shooting for advanced high-speed digital bus applications such as HDMI and MIPI. General purpose products can be used for multiple applications.

The HEACphy software enables HEAC (HDMI Ethernet and Audio Return Channel, introduced with HDMI 1.4) physical layer receiver and audio protocol test.

The HDMI Frame Generator software drives the Agilent HDMI TMDS Signal Generator E4887A, including peripherals such as external clock sources and power supplies. Its the ideal tool for fast efficient test, e.g. for debugging HDMI sinks. The HDMI Frame Generator software enables to change the crucial clock and data lane jitter mix generated by the Agilent E4887A TMDS Signal Generators on the fly. This is a unique feature, unmatched by any other method such as e.g. DDS with AWGs. In the past the HDMI Frame Generator was sold through Agilent Technologies as E4887A option 207. BIT-HDMI-FG is the replacement product. For details, including data sheet, see the Agilent E4887A web page.

The MIPI D-PHY Frame Generator supports MIPI D-PHY in the same way and offers the same advantages as the HDMI Frame Generator for HDMI. The MIPI M-PHY Frame Generator provides similar functionality for MIPI M-PHY, the MHL Frame Generator for MHL, the emerging Mobile High-Definition Link.

BIT-SIGMOD-1, the Signal Modulator software, supports multiple Agilent signal generators such as the ESG E4438C or MXG N5182A. The software sets the signal generator´s internal baseband generator (arb) to generate either a modulated clock with up to two Sj (sinusoidal jitter) components or a signal modulated by SSC (Spread Spectrum Clocking) optionally combined with the one Sj component. These signal modulations required by digital interface technologies such as USB, PCIExpress® and DisplayPort.
