Tektronix CSA8200
Communications Signal Analyzer
Description
The Tektronix CSA8200 Sampling Oscilloscopes are comprehensive acquisition and measurement instruments for research, design evaluation and manufacturing test in the fields of datacom and telecom components. In the fields of transceiver subassemblies, and transmission systems, computer and storage-based high speed electrical serial data, also semiconductor test, TDR-based impedance characterization and many other applications requiring bandwidths into tens of GHz.
The Tektronix 8200 Series will generate measurement results, with time and amplitude histograms, mask testing and statistical measurements. It will also provide a communications-tailored measurement set that has jitter, noise, duty cycle, overshoot, undershoot, OMA, extinction ratio, Q-factor, optical power, and amplitude measurements for both RZ and NRZ signals.
Compliance-based mask testing of high speed optical and electrical communications, and computer standards that are SDH/SONET, Ethernet, and Fibre Channel is included.
Color-grading and gray-scale grading of waveform data adds a third dimension, and sample density, to signal acquisition and analyses. The industry’s first variable persistence database will allow exact data and measurement aging on all of the functions, and will facilitate dynamic update on DUTs under adjustment.
