Agilent Technologies DisplayPort

Electrical Performance Validation and

Compliance software for Infiniium

Series oscilloscopes (see Table 2)

provides you with a fast and easy way

to verify and debug your DisplayPort

interface designs for sink and source

ICs, motherboard systems, computers

and graphics cards. The DisplayPort

electrical test software is designed

for use in DisplayPort Authorized

Compliance Test Houses, so you can

confidently use it to execute DisplayPort

electrical checklist tests as well as

employ it as a development tool.

To introduce a DisplayPort product

to the market, your product must

successfully pass compliance testing

based on the DisplayPort specification

at an approved DisplayPort test center

or through a self certification regimen

defined by VESA

in cooperation

with your company. Either way, you

will want to use the DisplayPort

Electrical Performance Validation and

Compliance software to troubleshoot,

if necessary, and then to validate the

design by performing the tests before

the final compliance test run.

The DisplayPort software makes it

easier for you to prepare for passing

the certification hurdle for DisplayPort

CTS version 1.2b.

To make measurements with the

DisplayPort Electrical Performance

Validation and Compliance software,

you will need a test point adapter with

the appropriate connector type to mate

to your device. These TPAs are listed

in the ordering information section. To

U7232B/U7232C DisplayPort Electrical Performance Validation and Compliance Software For Infiniium Series Oscilloscopes Data Sheet Verify and debug your DisplayPort designs more easily Agilent Technologies DisplayPort Electrical Performance Validation and Compliance software for Infiniium Series oscilloscopes (see Table 2) provides you with a fast and easy way to verify and debug your DisplayPort interface designs for sink and source ICs, motherboard systems, computers and graphics cards.
PAGE 2
DisplayPort compliance software helps you do the right job faster Features Save time Easy test definition The DisplayPort electrical test software is a full-featured package to simplify the validation process of DisplayPort designs: The DisplayPort Electrical Performance Validation and Compliance software saves you time by setting the stage for automatic execution of DisplayPort electrical tests.
PAGE 3
Test environment setup and test selection The DisplayPort Electrical Performance Validation and Compliance software now allows you to define the DUT capability and select test environment variables to better suit your testing goals for speed and cost. The setup process begins with the Setup entry screen (shown in Figure 1). This screen enables selection of the DisplayPort Compliance test specification (for instance 1.1a or 1.
PAGE 4
Test environment setup and test selection (continued) The first setup screen is shown in Figure 2 with the Start Project screen. This is where the project information and device specifics such as Test device, and Test Type are entered. The Test Type refers to whether the tests to be selected from a subsequent menu will be single ended tests only, differential tests only, or both singleended and differential tests.
PAGE 5
Test Connection Upon completion of the device definition, the Test Connection Setup screen is presented. This screen enables entry of parameters that affect the connection of the device to the oscilloscope. Specifically, the fixture, the type of connection and number of lanes connected. The fixture selection enables not only Agilent fixture (W2641), but any of the current fixtures provided by various fixture vendors as well.
PAGE 6
Test Selection After defining the test environment through the test setup loop, you are presented with only those tests that are appropriate for the environment chosen. For instance, if spread spectrum clocking (SSC) is not enabled, then no SSC tests will appear. This is the case for the optional settings of pre-emphasis and levels as well.
PAGE 7
Configurability and Guided Connections Configurability and Guided Connections The DisplayPort Electrical Performance Validation and Compliance software provides flexibility in your test setup. It guides you to make connection changes with hookup diagrams when the tests you select require it. For test parameters such as bandwidth, you can select appropriate values.
PAGE 8
Margin analysis Margin is calculated: In addition to providing you with measurement results, the DisplayPort Electrical Performance Validation and Compliance software provides a report format that shows you not only where your product passes or fails, but also reports how close you are to the limits specified for a particular test assertion.
PAGE 9
Thorough performance reporting The DisplayPort Electrical Performance Validation and Compliance software generates thorough reports that not only capture the performance and status of the device under test, but also the screen shots of your most significant measurements for your perusal and evaluation. The first page of the report lists equipment and configuration details required in standard quality assurance programs.
PAGE 10
Test Status Tracking The DisplayPort Electrical Performance Validation and Compliance software can keep track of the status in a test plan and is visually viewable in the Test Run menu (Figures 12 and 13). In addition, you can choose to resume testing the device and the software will continue where it stopped the time before.
PAGE 11
Extensibility You may add additional custom tests or steps to your application using the User Defined Application (UDA) development tool (www.agilent.com/find/uda). Use UDA to develop functional “Add-Ins” that you can plug into your application. Add-ins may be designed as: • Complete custom tests (with configuration variables and connection prompts) • Any custom steps such as pre or post processing scripts, external instrument control and your own device control Figure 14.
PAGE 12
Automation You can completely automate execution of your application’s tests and Add-Ins from a separate PC using the included Remote Interface feature (download free toolkit from www.agilent.com/find/scope-apps-sw). You can even create and execute automation scripts right inside the application using a convenient built-in client. The commands required for each task may be created using a command wizard or from “remote hints” accessible throughout the user interface.
PAGE 13
Switch Matrix The Agilent switch matrix software option for the compliance application, used together with switch matrix hardware, enables fully automated testing for multi-lane digital bus interfaces. The benefits of this automated switching solution include: • Eliminate reconnections, which saves time and reduces errors through automating test setup for each lane of a multi-lane bus.
PAGE 14
DisplayPort Test Point Adapters W2621B DisplayPort Test Point Adapter DisplayPort has recently added other connector forms in addition to the original standard connector. These include the Mini-DP connector (mDP) and most recently the eDP connector (in 20, 30, 40 and 50 pin versions), and Mobility DisplayPort, a variant for portables, referred to as MyDP.
