1.6 GHz CPU x86
512 MB RAM or higher
100 MB free hard disk space
CD-ROM drive (if installing from CD) Super VGA (800 x 600) display or higher resolution monitor with 256 colors or more PC keyboard and 2-button mouse Required connectivity options for instrumentation: IEEE 1394 (Firewire®) LAN depending on configuration: GPIB or Agilent 82357A USB/GPIB interface
Depending on the test (sink, source or cable test), accessories such as cable emulators, TPAs (test point access assem- blies), transition time converters or bias tee-kits are required. For details, see the E4887A data sheet (5989-5537EN) or www.bitifeye.com. DisplayPort A W2641A test point access adaptor is required. For automated receiver jitter tolerance testing a DisplayPort test controller (DPTC) W2642A is mandatory, and the DUT must support the register access indicated in CTS 1.1, chapter 4. For the calibration of the receiver test setup, a receptacle fixture is needed (see below). (1) W2641A test adaptor (1) W2642A DPTC (1) N4915-006 cable emulator (2) 11636B power divider (4) E4809-61603 matched pair cables (4) N5460A matched pair cables (6) N9398C blocking capacitors (E4887A: alternatively bias tee kit, BIT-HDMI-BTK-xxxx) (6) 15435A 156 ps TTCs (1) BIT-DP-RTF-0001; receptacle test fixture kit (for Rx tests) or 1 x BIT-DP- CBL-0001 cable test kit, see www.bitifeye.com. For the full list of accessories, contact Agilent. Computer bus test PCI Express T o run the N5990A PCI Express receiver tests (Option 101), the DUT must support loopback mode. A CBB or CLB might be required to connect to the DUT. SATA The N5990A RSG/Rcvr tests require the far end retimed loopback mode (BIST-L). Control software is available for example from ULINK T echnology (www. ulinktech.com). For the full equipment list, refer to the latest Agilent “method of implementation” (MOI) at www.sata-io.org or www.agilent.com. USB See the “Recommended T est Equipment” sections in the N5416A data sheet (5989- 4044EN). Note that N5990A currently only supports the 81134A pulse pattern generator. In case you need support for your 81130A, contact Agilent. In addition the following accessories are needed: (2) 15433B 500 ps TTCs (1) matched pair SMA cables (2) SMA cables MIPI DUT configuration and frame error rate counting via the PPI (PHY protocol interface) are required. Note that the PPI definition is still only informative. See the configuration guide (5989-8379EN).
