• Ability to select if data acquisition immediately begins upon starting a mask test.
This feature is located on the new Maks Tests tab in the Configure Measurements
dialog box. In addition, the Y- Axis Mask Align Measurement controls have been
moved to this new tab from the Eye Boundary tab.
• When saving screen captures via remote programming, the ability to select one
out of many displayed waveforms to include in the saved graphics file. This
capability is not available from the front panel.
• Added mask files for OTU2 and OTU2e.
General Defects Fixed
• Fixed a problem where the continuous loop bandwidth setting for clock data
recovery hardware could be set to values less than 15 kHz.
• Fixed a bug that would cause the instrument to be unresponsive from remote if
a single sweep was interrupted. A device clear was required to work around this
problem.
• Fixed a bug with the 86115D and other dual optical modules that would cause
the average power measurement to appear blank in certain circumstances.
Known Issues
• 86119A (Optical Sampling Oscilloscope) is designed to work on software versions
A.03.06 and A.03.05 only.
A.10.50 Release Notes, September, 2011 (Differences from Release

New Features
• Ability to compensate the average power measurement using the extinction ratio
calibration (dark calibration).
• Added a wrapper script to allow performing the VECPq (Vertical Eye Closure
Penalty) as defined for 16x Fibre Channel (FC- PI5). Requires software option 201
and MATLAB installed on the instrument.
• The 83496A/B/C and 86108A clock recovery modules now support an additional
front panel clock sub- rate of divide- by- 32, as well as new super- rates of x2, x4,
and x8.
