(Differences from Release A.02.02)

General Comments

• Edited the 86118A module specification topic for adjusted 86118- H01 the channel

skew specification and for information added concerning 86118- H02 module's

1 mm input connectors.

• Added specifications for the 86105D- 281 module.

• Added specifications for the 86115D- 282 module.

General Defects Fixed

• Fixed a memory leak in the precision timebase synchronization. This leak would

cause the instrument to report insufficient memory error messages after several

days.

• Fixed a bug that prevented use of the knobs on the 86112A- HBW module.

• Improved the precision timebase synchronization to be less sensitive to signal

drift.

New Feature List

• New Jitter Spectrum Analysis (JSA) memory and ability to save JSA data files

(*.jsax). This allows JSA data to be viewed offline.

• When the jitter database is saved to disk, JSA is included if Clock Recovery

Emulation (CRE) is active.

• New tail fit method available in Jitter Mode, which enables the following new

scalar measurements:

• BUI (rms) for ones and zeros

•BUI(δ-δ) for ones and zeros

•BUJ

•BUJ(rms)

• Ability to measure TJ (Total Jitter), DJ (Deterministic Jitter), RJ (Random Jitter),

J2, J5, and J9 on long patterns such as PRBS31. This is accomplished within

FlexDCA with an option 401 license but without the use of the option 401

spreadsheet. A new Advanced Eye tab is enabled in Eye/Mask Mode. This feature

requires the option 401 Advanced Eye Analysis Software license.

A.01.80 Release Notes, June, 2012

(Differences from Release A.01.70)

General Comments

• FlexDCA requires Agilent IO Libraries 16.2 or later. If you have a prior version

installed, it will be upgraded to version 16.2.

• FlexDCA requires the Agilent licensing system 4.3 or later. This includes "Agilent

License Manager", "Agilent ACCL Licensing", and "Agilent Host Processor Platform".

• Removed the Control menu. The Auto Scale, Run, Stop, Single, and Clear functions

can more easily be accomplished by clicking the buttons that are shown to the

right of the menu bar. The Undo Auto Scale command has been moved to the top

of the Setup menu.

New Feature List

• Ability to use 86100D DCA- X applications. Added the Apps menu to the menu

bar for launching applications.

N1010A FlexDCA and 86100A/B/C/D

Firmware Release Notes

• Support for the N1012A OIF CEI Compliance 3.0 Application and N1019A User

Defined Application Tool. The new menu also supports user- added shortcuts to

files and Windows applications.

• FlexDCA now includes the ability to take into account the effect of external

devices such as attenuators or transducers. With this feature, FlexDCA will report

waveform and measurement results referenced to the input of the external device

instead of the input of the oscilloscope channel. Additionally, if you have

configured external attenuator or transducer settings in the 86100C/D firmware,

they will be transferred to FlexDCA when using "Transfer Basic" on connection to

the DCA.

• New copy- to- clipboard buttons on the shortcut menus for pasting waveform

images or measurement data to external applications.

• Ability to find a bit sequence in a pattern waveform.

• Ability to select one of four color schemes for displaying color- grade persistence

waveforms. This includes a color scheme that matches the classic 86100A/B/C/D

firmware.

• Ability to select color or monochrome display of gray- scale persistence waveforms.

• The remote SCPI interface is fully supported on 64- bit operating systems.

• The bandwidth of a differential signal can be configured from a single drop- down

in the GUI.

• The message area can now be "docked" so that it is permanently visible. To enable

this feature, access the "Display Setup" dialog from the "Setup" menu. Near the

bottom of the "Appearance" tab is a checkbox called "Dock Message Area".

General Defects Fixed

• Changed the default trigger bandwidth on the 86100D- STR frame from "Filtered

Edge" to "Standard Edge".

• The waveform save feature will only allow you to save waveforms that are

currently displayed. Previously, waveforms that had been acquired but not

displayed could also be saved, which made it easy to accidently save the wrong

waveform.

• Fixed the remote command ":DISK:SIMage:SINClude" in eye mode.

• Fixed a defect that caused Precision Timebase Synchronization to take a very long

time to complete when a PRBS 23 pattern was in use.

Common Programming Commands
