U7232A DisplayPort Compliance Testing Notes 3
DisplayPort Automated Testing—At A Glance
The Agilent U7232A DisplayPort Electrical Performance Compliance Test
Application helps you verify DisplayPort Source device under test (DUT)
compliance to DisplayPort specifications using an Agilent 8 GHz or greater
Infiniium digital storage oscilloscope. The DisplayPort Electrical
Performance Compliance Test Application:
• Lets you select individual or multiple tests to run.
• Lets you identify the device being tested and its configuration.
• Shows you how to make oscilloscope connections to the device under
test.
• Automatically checks for proper oscilloscope configuration.
• Automatically sets up the oscilloscope for each test.
• Provides detailed information for each test that has been run and lets
you specify the thresholds at which marginal or critical warnings
appear.
• Creates a printable HTML report of the tests that have been run.
Compliance testing measurements are described in Section 3, Source
Compliance Tests, in the DisplayPort- Compliance Test Specification
Version 1 document. For more information, see the VESA web site at
www.vesa.org
.
Required Equipment and Software
In order to run the DisplayPort automated tests, you need the following
equipment and software:
• 8 GHz or greater Infiniium Oscilloscope. Option 001 (1 M/ch memory
upgrade) is recommended; this will greatly reduce Data Eye Pattern and
Jitter test time.
• U7232A DisplayPort Electrical Performance Compliance Test
Application.
• Keyboard, qty = 1, (provided with the Agilent Infiniium oscilloscope).
• Mouse, qty = 1, (provided with the Agilent Infiniium oscilloscope).
• Precision 3.5 mm BNC to SMA male adapter, Agilent p/n 54855- 67604,
qty = 2 (provided with the Agilent Infiniium oscilloscope).
• Calibration cable (provided with the Infiniium oscilloscopes). Use a
good quality 50
Ω BNC cable for calibrating the oscilloscope.
• E2655A/B probe de- skew fixture.
NOTE
The tests performed by the DisplayPort Electrical Performance Compliance Test Application
are intended to provide a quick check of the electrical health of the DUT. This testing is not
a replacement for an exhaustive test validation plan.
