Scope-based tools support complete debugging and compliance testing of Superspeed USB 3.0

摘要

Tektronix's new DPO (digital-phosphor-oscilloscope)/DSA (digital-signal-analyzer) 7000B family is now available with a USB-TX option, which, with the press of a button, allows you to automatically and rapidly validate USB (Universal Serial Bus) 3.0 Superspeed transmitters. These devices transmit data more than 10 times as fast as highspeed devices that conform to the previous (2.0) version of the USB standard. Tektronix has added the option-a comprehensive toolrnset for characterizing, debugging, and automating compliance testing of Superspeed devices-to its TekExpress oscilloscope-based serial-data-test framework, which also supports several other ultra-high-speed serial buses. In addition, the manufacturer has introduced a full set of USB 3.0 fixtures that enable you to perform transmitter, receiver, and cable tests.
