OIF-CEI 56G Draft PAM4 Measurements

The OIF-CEI 56G Draft PAM4 Measurements license enables the use of the Keysight N1085A-4FP Compliance and Debug Application. This application installs on a PC or DCA-X and measures your high speed serial host board, module, or IC to required transmit parameters in OIF-CEI 4.0 draft documents for PAM4. You can also take advantage of the industry’s lowest intrinsic jitter of the 86108B Precision Waveform Analyzer. This easy-to-use oscilloscope application lets you:

  • Save time in understanding details of standards
  • Reduce your test times from hours to minutes
  • Debug your device using custom configurations
  • Characterize up to 10 lanes in multi-lane devices

To enable the use of the U3020AS26 switching test set with this compliance and debug application purchase the IEEE 802.3 Compliance Switch Control.
