Agilent Technologies
MIPI D-PHY Test Solution
Agilent Technologies’ N4851A MIPI D-PHY Analysis/Stimulus Test Solution facilitates hardware and software debug with a unique “packet-to-picture” debug environment. It’s designed for the mobile industry, which is facing a technological revolution with the emergence of standard high-speed serial protocol-based interconnects within mobile devices, such as MIPI D-PHY, which is typically used between cameras, displays and controller chipsets.
Faro Technologies Inc.
Quantum FaroArm
Faro Technologies Inc.’s Quantum FaroArm is available in eight- or 12-ft working volumes and either six- or seven-axis models. It offers accuracy comparable to fixed coordinate measuring machines (CMMs) and is said to be the first 8-ft arm proven to measure to within 0.0007 inches. It features software that is fully programmable for repetitive measurement, has a small footprint on the shop floor and is said to perform inspections more efficiently than traditional measurement tools.

Infiniium 90000A Series Oscilloscope
Agilent Technologies’ Infiniium 90000A Series oscilloscope addresses customer development workflow: debug; analysis and electrical signal compliance with high signal integrity. The unit provides a low-noise floor with measurement stability and repeatability. Responsive 1-Gpts deep memory and three-stage hardware- and software-integrated trigger solution provide debugging and analysis solutions.

Precision Waveform Analyzer
Agilent Technologies’ 86108A Precision Waveform Analyzer is a plug-in module used with the 86100C Infiniium DCA-J wideband oscilloscope. The 86108A combines two high-bandwidth channels and an instrumentation-grade clock recovery into a single unit. A combination of low jitter, low noise and wide bandwidth make the unit a suitable choice for helping engineers develop and test high-speed electrical designs for applications such as PCI Express, SATA, SAS, HDMI, DisplayPort, SFP+, FibreChannel and GBit Ethernet.
National Instruments
PXI Express Mixed-Signal Suite
National Instruments’ PXI Express Mixed Signal Suite includes the PXIe-5122 digitizer, PXIe-6536/7 digital i/o instruments, PXIe-5442 waveform generator and PXIe-5672 vector signal generator. The PXI platform is based on the high-bandwidth PCI and PCI Express buses, so instruments can continuously stream data, such as memory or RAID arrays, to and from sources on the controller or the controlling PC. This high-speed data streaming allows for terabytes of onboard instrument memory.

Faro Laser ScanArm
The Faro Laser ScanArm V3 is a seven-axis
contact/non-contact measurement device with a fully-integrated laser scanner.
It enables users to collect simple point vibrations with the arm's hard probe.
It can then laser-scan sections requiring larger volumes of data, without the
wasted time of adding or removing attachments, untangling cabling, or having to
use and import data from a separate coordinate measuring machine.

Agilent Probes
Agilent Technologies' W2630A series DDR2 and DDR3
BGA probes provide signal access points to the clock, strobe, data, address and
command signals of the DDR3 DRAM for true compliance testing with an oscilloscope.
The logic analyzer provides timing and protocol view of the DRAM activities.
The DDR2 BGA proble enables simultaneous access to the oscilloscope and to the
logic analyzer's full compliance and protocol validation.

Agilent PCI Express Protocol Test Card
Agilent Technologies' E2969B Protocol Test Card
II for PCI Express 2.0 is a suite of 180 tests that automatically generate
different conditions to test branches of the protocol implementation. At the
end of a test, a color-coded summary report provides an overview of percentage
pass/fail and also serves as a detailed report for each test case, which
enables engineers to troubleshoot issues further.
Agilent Technologies
Agilent Pulse Function Arbitrary Noise Generator
Agilent Technologies' 81150A Pulse Function Arbitrary Noise Generator is a three-in-one instrument: accurate pulse; function arbitrary; and noise generation in a single box. The pulse generator offers distortion capabilities to stress the device and not the source. The function arbitrary generator provides versatile waveforms and modulation capabilities to adapt the signal to the device requirements. The noise generator combines two extremes: random and repeatable noise with very long repetition rates for simple problem identification.
