Measurement automation software

2 September 2009 Test & Measurement

Agilent Technologies has announced flexible and integrated measurement automation software for its Infiniium realtime oscilloscopes. N5467A user-defined application (UDA) software gives engineers the ability to rapidly automate measurements on Infiniium oscilloscopes. In addition to saving time and money, automation provides setup and measurement consistency across sites and scopes.

The software is ideal for situations where existing applications do not provide the exact automation capabilities engineers require. UDA software is fully compatible with Infiniium baseline applications, including EZJIT, EZJIT Plus, serial data analysis, serial data equalisation, and InfiniiScan software. It provides full, detailed HTML reports for the simplest to the most-complicated measurements.

This application features basic and advanced debug modes. Basic mode provides simple automation for measurements such as frequency and rms noise. Advanced mode allows UDA software to control Infiniium 90000, 80000 and 8000 Series oscilloscopes and any Agilent/HP instruments connected to a network via Agilent’s IO libraries. With this capability, engineers can develop their own custom applications with the look and precision of complex and more expensive applications. Advanced mode allows engineering teams to include custom logos in their software and HTML reports. It provides full automation for the most complex measurements, including function math. Advanced mode enables engineers to import images of the measurement environment into their customised automated application to ensure measurements are taken the same way every time.

The UDA software has the look and feel of Infiniium’s compliance applications such as DisplayPort, HDMI and SATA 6G. Unlike compliance applications though, it is completely customisable; users are not constrained to preset tests and conditions. With UDA, engineers have the flexibility to create the tests they want and the settings they need. Engineers can develop applications for unsupported technologies such as LVDS, SDI and Flash memory. However, because of the UDA software’s flexibility, the software is not constrained to compliance applications. For example, engineers could use UDA software with Infiniium’s EZJIT Plus software to take jitter measurements under various conditions to find worst-case jitter conditions.
