Testing Equipment #268663

Astek Corporation's High Speed Interconnect Tester (HSIT) enables high-speed testing of cables, slip-rings, backplanes and other interconnect technologies. The HSIT's eight generic DC, low speed and high speed channels are configured through technology specific Connector Saver Modules such as USB, FireWire, HDMI, DisplayPort, SATA, SAS, PCIe, Camera Link HS, etc. Astek Corporation provides a variety of standard Connector Saver Modules and custom modules may be developed upon request. Features: Test high-speed channels up to 6Gbs.Measure error rates of up to 8-channels at once.All channels are tested simultaneously.Test DC signals for shorts and opens.

Astek Corporation's Signal Quality Test System (QP-SQT) is a complete test system for IEEE-1394b Beta transmit signal integrity and receive signal sensitivity testing. Testing is completed in accordance with the Base 1394 Test Suite Definition with Extensions for 1394b, AS56431 S400 Copper Media Interface Test Plan, and other standards. Two models of QP-SQT are available: the QP-SQT-4 supports S100, S200, and S400 testing and the QP-SQT-8 supports S400 and S800 testing. The default configuration for the receiver sensitivity tester is capacitive coupled. Astek's Signal Quality Tester (formerly QP-JSFSQT) is built upon a scalable platform with a VersaPHYTM backchannel and targeted at Beta signal quality testing. Engineered to conveniently test both transmitter signal integrity and receiver sensitivity, the SQT automates both sets of tests. The QP-SQT Test System requires Windows 7, MS-Excel 2007 or later, and GPIB support (National Instruments GPIB support is recommended). Transmit Tester The SQT's Signal Integrity Tester (SQT-SIT) is used to test the output of the device under test (DUT). The data acquired from the oscilloscope is post processed using commonly available and inexpensive MS-Excel. The flexible post processing method allows for Near End and Far End measurements. Additionally, IEEE-1394b and SAE AS5643 parameters are used to qualify the results to determine if the transmitter is meeting the specification requirements. Using the appropriate Test Fixture, all ports of the DUT can be tested. Astek provides automation support for several oscilloscopes. Please contact Astek for the lastest list of supported oscilloscope models from Keysight, LeCroy, and Tektronix. SQT-SIT measures the following parameters: Baud rateDifferential amplitudeRiseFall timeEye diagram with maskJitterDifferential skewCommon mode voltageReceive Tester The SQT's Receive Tester (SQT-RT) conditions real world signals to provide worse case amplitude. By stressing the input of the device under test (DUT) in this manner a comprehensive receiver test can be done quickly and inexpensively. The SQT-RT is designed to test up to 3 port devices during one test run. SQT-RT is also designed to provide a first order indication of BER in approximately 3 minutes per port when directly connected to the DUT. Astek provides a variety of cables to interconect to the SQT-RT's 9-pin connectors (38999, HSD, USCAR, RJ-45, and others are available). Please contact Astek for the latest list of standard cables. Custom cables can also be built by Astek. SQT-RT measures the following parameters: Receiver sensitivityReal world Bit Error Rate (BER)Receiver margin

Astek Corporation's Interconnect Tester (QP-ICT) provides the ability to test one (1) to five (5) interconnects simultaneously. An interconnect could be a cable, cable with slip-ring, or a series of devices that include a 1394 PHY. Each QP-ICT connection provides outputs with amplitude control. Each output is individually calibrated and controlled for maximum configurability. Each port transmits packets to the IEEE-1394b bus and receives data from the IEEE-1394b bus. Each packet is verified by the receiver of the packet. Two models of QP-ICT are available: the QP-ICT-4 supports S100, S200, and S400 testing and the QP-ICT-8 supports S400 and S800 testing. The default configuration for the QP-ICT is capacitive coupled. Astek's Interconnect Tester (QP-ICT) is built upon a scalable platform with the VersaPHYTM Backchannel and is targeted at IEEE-1394b testing. Engineered to conveniently test up to 5 cables simultaneously, the SQT automates all testing and generates a summary report at the conclusion of each test. The QP-ICT Test System requires Windows 7.
