Release Notes, October 10, 2002 (Differences From Release A.03.03) - Agilent Technologies 86100A Release Notes

4250 MB/s.
• The mask file names are as follows: FC1063_PI_R13_Dec01.msk,
FC2125_PI_R13_Dec01.msk, FC4250_PI_R13_Dec01.msk
Defects Fixed
• Improved color contrast between mask regions when saving screens with Invert
Background Color checked. Previously, the mask margins appeared to be the same
color as the mask.
• Corrected problem when loading waveform memories, scale and offset limits were
incorrect. They were too limited when channel attenuation was a large value.
• Corrected problem with dropouts on channels when in differential TDR mode.
• Corrected problem with dropouts using high bandwidth modules when in TDT
mode.
• Corrected problem with signal response being clipped when performing a
differential TDR normalization
• Corrected problem with multiple presses of Stop/Single button causing data
acquisition to halt.
• Corrected problem with Autoscale not completing when Histograms are enabled
and acquisition is stopped.
• Corrected documentation with remote Programmer?fs Guide. Had incorrect syntax
for probe calibration. Indicated command was :CAL:PROB:CHAN<n>, should be
:CAL:PROB CHAN<N>.
• Corrected debug assertion when the remote query :TRIGger:GATed? was sent.
• Corrected problem with :HARDcopy:DPRinter 0 printing remote command halting
application.
A.03.04 Release Notes, October 10, 2002 (Differences from Release
A.03.03)
New Feature List
• Add new vertical mask alignment method as specified by the OFSTP- 4A standard.
Alignment method can be selected from either GUI or remote access. GUI selection
is done through Eye Boundary tab in the Configure Measurements dialog. Vertical
alignment can be performed as originally implemented using the entire display
(Vtop/Vbase) or as specified by OFSTP- 4A, using the eye boundary 1/0 levels
• Modified NRZ eye measurement algorithms for rising and crossing point to better
detect sharper edges
• 86117A/B optimized gain settings for better performance
• Add support for the 86109B Opt K10 . An enhanced version of the 86109B O/E
receiver with 40 GHz optical bandwidth and 50 GHz electrical bandwidth
• Add support for the 86116B . High speed O/E receiver with 65 GHz optical
bandwidth and warranted 80 GHz electrical bandwidth, typically 90 GHz
Defects Fixed:
• Mask files 10GbE_10_3125_May02.msk and 10GbE_9_953_May02.msk modified to
align to eye boundary to be compliant with OFSTP- 4A standard
• Corrected a problem with histogram mean always returning invalid data
• Corrected problems with TDR and TDT calibrations, markers and interactions with
54754A, 54753A, 83484A and other modules
• Corrected a problem with response waveform not yielding excess reactance
• *RST was not resetting source for math functions to channel1
• *RST was returning Error 241 Hardware missing
