N1010A FlexDCA and 86100A/B/C/D
Firmware Release Notes
A.03.06 Release Notes, October 30, 2003 (Differences from Release
A.03.05)
New Feature List
• None
Defects Fixed
• Differential normalization was not working correctly because each stimulus
channel was using a different risetime value. Both channels now share the risetime
setting of the first channel.
• Stopped circular dependencies that were causing autoscale to hang.
• Function that returns if TDR stimulus is differential/common mode was broken
when two TDR modules were installed and the right module had differential or
common mode stimulus. This prevented the :DIGitize remote command from
working.
• Set of valid choices for the other module is now set correctly when turning off
stimulus of 2 only or 4 only. Differential TDT data was not being saved and
recalled properly.
• Normalization cal data was being invalidated inconsistently and unnecessarily
when TDR settings were changed.
• Differential normalization behavior was based on the current setting of the
differential mode control and not on the setting at the time the cal was performed.
• Fixed a bug where you would get "Control is set to limit" error messages the first
time you power up an instrument.
• Single- ended TDT normalization data is now recalled properly when loading a
TDR/TDT cal file. Previously the normalization cal data was read from the file but
not fully resolved as valid.
• Enhanced TDT normalization so that thru measurements from calibration are
stored independently from TDR short measurements. This allows greater flexibility
in switching between stimulus channels.
• Fixed threading synchronization problem that caused the instrument to hang
under certain conditions when a setup was recalled remotely.
• The :DIGitize remote command now works properly with RESPonse<N>
parameters. If the response is differential or common mode it must be turned on
before executing the :DIGitize command.
A.03.05 Release Notes, April 21, 2003 (Differences from Release
A.03.04)
New Feature List
• Added support for the 86119A Optical Sampling Oscilloscope
• Added support for the new N1022A probe adaptor. This probe adaptor provides
support for the InfiniiMax 3.5 to 7 GHz probes. This includes the following Agilent
probes: 1131A, 1132A, 1134A, 1156A, 1157A and 1158A.
• Added support for horizontal mask alignment recommendation as per ITU- T G.691
for STM16 mask testing. This allows the mask center region to be positioned
optimally along the horizontal axis to achieve the minimum number of mask
violations. Along with this implementation, the following mask file was added:
• STM016_G.691_V2.0.msk
• Added the following NRZ masks to support testing to the Fibre Channel Physical
• Interface (FC- PI) Rev 13 standard for the following data rates: 1063, 2125 and
38
