Keysight Technologies N1000A Configuration guide
Keysight Technologies N1000A Spec Sheet
Content is AI-generated. Verify critical details with manufacturer-provided resources.
What is the Keysight N1000A DCA-X mainframe used for?
The N1000A DCA-X is a modular wide-bandwidth oscilloscope mainframe platform designed for precision measurements on high-speed digital designs from 50 MBd to more than 80 GBd. It serves as the base unit for a configurable measurement system where users select from various plug-in modules including optical, electrical, and TDR/TDT remote sampling heads to match their specific bandwidth, filtering, and sensitivity requirements.
What modules can be installed in the N1000A mainframe?
The N1000A accepts multiple plug-in modules including the N1045B 60 GHz electrical remote sampling head, N1046A 75/85/100+ GHz electrical module, N1055A 35/50 GHz TDR/TDT module, and various optical modules. You can install up to four modules per mainframe to configure from 2 to 16 channels depending on module type. Each module provides independent skew control and simultaneous data acquisition across all active channels.
What timebase options are available for the N1000A?
The N1000A offers three timebase options. The standard timebase provides basic performance, while the low jitter timebase option delivers improved timing accuracy. The internal precision timebase option, which requires the low jitter timebase, provides the highest timing precision for demanding jitter measurements. Pattern lock trigger hardware is also available as an option for triggering on specific data patterns in repetitive signals.
What is the maximum sampling rate of the N1000A DCA-X?
The N1000A DCA-X mainframe supports a maximum sampling rate of 250 kSa/s when equipped with compatible modules such as the N1045B, N1046A, and N1055A. This represents a significant improvement over the 40 kSa/s rate available on the older 86100D mainframe, enabling much faster waveform acquisition for higher measurement throughput in production and R&D environments.
Does the N1000A support analysis software packages?
Yes, the N1000A is compatible with three FlexDCA analysis packages. The N1010100A R&D package provides advanced amplitude analysis, jitter separation, eye analysis, equalization, PAM-N capabilities, and waveform transformations. The N1010200A Manufacturing package optimizes throughput with enhanced impedance, S-parameters, and TDECQ features. The N1010300A Signal Integrity package adds automatic fixture removal in TDR mode, S-parameters, and user-defined measurements.
Can the N1000A be controlled remotely?
Yes, the N1000A supports remote control through a GPIB interface when ordered with the optional GPIB card, as well as standard Ethernet connectivity. Remote programming allows oscilloscope and software automation, and the system can be controlled by the N1010A FlexDCA application running on an external PC. This flexibility enables integration into automated test systems for both lab and production environments.
What is pattern lock capability on the N1000A?
Pattern lock trigger hardware is an optional feature that enables the N1000A to trigger on specific repeating bit patterns in high-speed serial data streams. This capability is required for both the R&D and Manufacturing analysis software packages, as it enables advanced triggering functions, PRBS testing, and pattern-specific measurements. Pattern lock allows you to isolate specific data sequences for detailed analysis of signal behavior under particular bit patterns.
How does the N1000A compare to the older 86100D mainframe?
The N1000A DCA-X represents the newer generation mainframe with enhanced performance over the 86100D. When using compatible modules, the N1000A provides 250 kSa/s maximum sampling rate compared to 40 kSa/s on the 86100D, offering significantly faster waveform acquisition. The N1000A also features updated connectivity, improved processing capabilities, and full support for the latest analysis software packages and remote sampling head modules.
