Firmware Release Notes
exit
• Resolved STOP CHAN1 :TIME:RANG:MEAS:VTIM? causes abrupt application exit
• Repaired MEASure:CGR:SOUR CGMemory causing application hang
• Resolved TRIGger:BRATe plus *RCL remote command causing application hang
• Fixed MTES:ALIG causing release assertion
• Resolved "DIG FUNCtion2 and :SYSTem:MODE: JITT" being sent causing an application
hang
• Resolved MEAS:CGR:JITT? command causing application exit
• Addressed :DISP:SCOL? CGR1 causing application exit
• Fixed TDR:DCALib RPCalib sequence creating application error
• Repaired ACQuire:RUNTil? CHANnel<N> query causing time out
• Repaired VIEW:RESP4 Crashing in Eye Mode
• Fixed MEASure:DELTatime? CHANnel3,FUNCtion1 causing a crash
• Resolved :MEASure:APOWer?' command causing application crash
Software Option Packages (#200 and #201) Defects Fixed
• Addressed Total Jitter and Deterministic Jitter being optimistic by 1/10000 UI. The TJ
histogram data had been missing the rightmost bin. This results in an optimistic estimate
of TJ and DJ by up to 0.0001 UI, or about 10fs at 10GB/s (#200).
• Repaired TJ measurement being incorrectly identified in comma separated file. Fixed RJ
value is also now indicated in exported jitter CSV file (#200).
• Resolved Periodic Jitter (PJ) Shape plot displaying bad data when data rate is an odd
number. Previously, the result was a noisy trace (#200).
• Disabled Frequency resolve feature from working when jitter measurement results are
questionable (#200).
• Repaired MatLab scripts without pipeline causing horizontal quantization in data display
(#201).
• Enabled average power measurements when either equalizer or MatLab feature is enabled
(#201).
• Fixed incorrect time base scale wrong with precision time base and equalizer in Eye mode.
The time base for a channel is now scaled correctly when precision time base and equalizer
are activated (#201).
• Resolved MatLab script and switch to TDR mode causing software crash. Added a check
to verify whether or not the waveform being measured has any points at all (#201).
Known Issues
• 86119A (Optical Sampling Oscilloscope) is designed to work on software versions A.03.06
and A.03.05 only.
A.04.11 Release Notes, December 10, 2004 (Differences from Release
A.04.10)
New Feature List
•None
Defects Fixed
• Repaired Autoscale function resulting in 3 eyes being displayed on Graticule with 86105C
reference receivers.
• Resolved TDR cannot set scale to Ohms after default setup on channels 2 and 4.
Previously, only channels 1 and 3 could be set to Ohms.
• Fixed average power monitor offset showing up on some reference receiver monitor.
