Firmware Release Notes
CHAN<N>.
• Corrected debug assertion when the remote query :TRIGger:GATed? was sent.
• Corrected problem with :HARDcopy:DPRinter 0 printing remote command halting
application.
A.03.04 Release Notes, October 10, 2002 (Differences from Release
A.03.03)
New Feature List
• Add new vertical mask alignment method as specified by the OFSTP-4A standard.
Alignment method can be selected from either GUI or remote access. GUI selection is done
through Eye Boundary tab in the Configure Measurements dialog. Vertical alignment can
be performed as originally implemented using the entire display (Vtop/Vbase) or as
specified by OFSTP-4A, using the eye boundary 1/0 levels
• Modified NRZ eye measurement algorithms for rising and crossing point to better detect
sharper edges
• 86117A/B optimized gain settings for better performance
• Add support for the 86109B Opt K10 . An enhanced version of the 86109B O/E receiver
with 40 GHz optical bandwidth and 50 GHz electrical bandwidth
• Add support for the 86116B . High speed O/E receiver with 65 GHz optical bandwidth and
warranted 80 GHz electrical bandwidth, typically 90 GHz
Defects Fixed:
• Mask files 10GbE_10_3125_May02.msk and 10GbE_9_953_May02.msk modified to align to
eye boundary to be compliant with OFSTP-4A standard
• Corrected a problem with histogram mean always returning invalid data
• Corrected problems with TDR and TDT calibrations, markers and interactions with
54754A, 54753A, 83484A and other modules
• Corrected a problem with response waveform not yielding excess reactance
• *RST was not resetting source for math functions to channel1
• *RST was returning Error 241 Hardware missing
• Pressing Default Setup with no modules was displaying "Entry was not a valid selection" in
the Dynamic Text Area
• Corrected problem with software upgrade process, cycling power too quickly could
prevent upgrade from completing

A.03.03)
New Feature List
• Add warning when attempting to save a file to a full floppy disk
• Add RZ/NRZ Eye mode selection GUI button
• Renamed horizontal and vertical calibration dialog box to avoid confusion with the
precision timebase module
• TDR Differential Normalization feature added
• New masks: Infiniband, 10 GbE, Xaui
• Changes to electrical channel offset DAC for 86101A and 86103A modules
• The following new modules are supported: 86105B, 86107A Opt 010, 86117A/B, 86118A
