BASE OPTIONS (discontinued)
Contains GUI, Report Generation, Remote Interface and 1 yr S/W Maintenance. Is needed to run all flavors of ValiFrame Test Automation Software (Options 100 – 199). Can be added to M8085A, when a Test Sequencer function is required.
Also this option provides the possibility to programmatically control ValiFrame from another program through the ValiFrameRemote interface. If you are looking to include custom calibration and test procedures as well as instrument drivers, this function is provided with N5990-500 User Programming
Allows to integrate BitifEye´s 2100 Switch System and BIT-3000 DSGA into Valiframe.
Use programmable switches to test multiple lanes without manual re-connections. This can significantly reduce test times and required user interaction. This option is only required once per test station, not once per standard.
Not all standards support this option, so please contact BitifEye.
It is only needed for receiver / sink test set ups and for N5990A-006.
For some DUTs proprietary tools exist to control the device (e.g. set it to loopback mode) as well as for reading internal checksum error counters, burst counters, or other indicators. These indicators make it possible to determine whether the receiver was able to receive the data properly. The integration of such proprietary tools into the Test Automation Software can be achieved with the iBerReader software interface. The interface acts as a wrapper for such tools and the definition is given in C# .NET. It follows the interface defined in the different MIPI PHY CTSs (e.g. for M-PHY: Appendix H – Standardized Software Interface for Test Automation), Computer Bus CTSs, or HDMI CTS.
N5990A-006 provides full control of the USB Type-C interface which is core to the RX and TX compliance testing in USB 3.1, Thunderbolt and DisplayPort in their own ALT-Modes as well power contracts (consuming or providing) can be made up to 100 Watts. Test results are available as HTML or Excel workbook. It can be combined to N5990A-102 (USB). – 104 (Thunderbolt) and -155 (DisplayPort).
It is required to power-cycle the DUT several times at certain moments during the receiver tests. This means that the N5990A user needs to sit in front of the controller PC and wait until he is asked by the test automation to power-cycle the DUT. Not only is this task time-consuming, it is error prone. If the user forgets to or does not power-up the DUT properly, the current test will need to be repeated. With N5990A Option -008 or Remote Power Management Support, the number of user interactions and thus the room for errors and potential delays are minimized.
With N5990A Option -008, the user only has to make sure that the DUT is properly connected to a PDU (power distribution unit) or a Keysight power supply once during the very first receiver test and let the test automation power-cycle the DUT when required.
Suppoted PDUs are Koukaam NetIO-230B, Koukaam NetIO-230C, Allnet ALL 4076, Synaccess NP (USA connectors) Keysight Power Supplies (only used with USB tests): E3631A, E363xA, E364xA,N67xx
