N5980A Manufacturing Serial BERT

The Keysight N5980A 3.125 Gb/s Manufacturing Serial BERT (Bit Error Ratio Tester) enables transceiver manufacturing test at one-third the price of the existing N4906B BERT. It also has twice the maximum test throughput with independent electrical and optical (SFP plug-ins) interfaces. Combined with the reduction in price, it reduces the cost of test by a factor of six. Features： Dramatically simplified transceiver measurements that provide just the essential tests via the one page graphical user interface (running on an external Windows® XP PC via a USB 2.0 interface) Standard measurements at fixed rates between 125 Mb/s and 3.125 Gb/s Generation of Pseudo Random Bit Sequence (PRBS) polynomials and a K28.5 pattern at Low Voltage Differential Signal (LVDS) or Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL) levels
