The R&S TS-PDFT module is inserted in the front of the R&S CompactTSVP chassis. It is based on the cPCI/PXI standard. The R&S TS-PDFT module can only be used in the R&S CompactTSVP (TSVP = Test System Versatile Platform). 1.2 Characteristics The Digital Function Test Module R&S TS-PDFT features the following characteristics:...
Page 20
Used in the R&S CompactTSVP 1.2.1 Applications The R&S TS-PDFT module is used to test the operation of digitally mounted modules or devices. Function tests of this type test the entire operation of a digital circuit under conditions that are as near to reality as possible. The module does this by creating dig- ital input patterns, measuring the output signals and comparing them with the target values.
Page 21
® Usage R&S TS-PDFT Characteristics The R&S TS-PDFT module can perform a full self-test without any additional measure- ment effort. Diagnostic LEDs in the front panel indicate the module's status. 1.2.2 Digital Function Test 1.2.2.1 Digital Function Test (Low-Speed) The digital function test (Low-Speed) tests functionalities where the emphasis is more on the correct interplay of logic chips and less on proving time-critical limits.
