N1010A FlexDCA and 86100A/B/C/D
Firmware Release Notes
A.07.00 Release Notes, March 15, 2007 (Differences from Release
A.06.01)
New Features List
• The following features are available only with Option 300, Advanced Amplitude
Analysis/RIN/Q- factor (which requires Option 200, Enhanced Jitter Analysis
Software and 86100C Option 001, Enhanced Trigger): Amplitude Analysis,
Separation and display of amplitude interference components (similar to jitter
mode), RIN/RINoma, Q factor
• Added Optical Modulation Amplitude measurement to oscilloscope mode.
• Support for 83496B clock recovery module with the capability to lock on data
streams that employ a Spread Spectrum Clock (SSC). Enables phase noise analysis
on clocks.
• Support for Option 83496A- UAB, upgrade to 83496B capability.
• Support for new 86116C high speed optical and electrical module. The 86116C
offers reference receiver performance for the OC768 standard.
• Upper limit on LBW increased to 24M/n , which allows wider bandwidth for
signals with .5 transition density.
• Added queries DISK:TFILe? and DISK:BFILe? To transfer text and binary files over
GPIB
• New setting can automatically turn on Quick Measure when entering Eye/Mask
mode or Oscilloscope mode.
General Defects Fixed
• The queries time:pos?, time:range?, time:scale?, wav:xdis?, wav:xran? Now properly
return zoomed parameters.
• Waveform display for TDR common mode response now update properly after
zoom.
• ER calibration delta temp now uses the module temperature.
• RZ One and Zero level measurements now make measurement at the peak of the
pulse instead of the center.
• DISPlay:DATA? And DISK:SIMage with GRATicule parameter will not include the
mask test results tab in the screen image.
• Saving pattern waveform now uses *OPC when finished.
• Fixed Differential TDR calibration update problem when changing timebase
settings.
• Repaired an issue that could occur when trying to load a Calibration file, that
does not exist, over GPIB.
• Load jitter data base is no longer available outside jitter mode.
• Horizontal Auto Skew functionality improved.
• Zoom in DDJ vs. Bit plot is now properly limited to 2 bits.
• Repaired an issue that could occur when using LFE or Matlab with no modules
present.
• Mask test always includes hits from final acquisition when stop is pressed during
mask test.
Known Issues
• 86119A (Optical Sampling Oscilloscope) is designed to work on software versions
A.03.06 and A.03.05 only.
