The Tektronix NRZ-M4 application provides NRZ signaling analysis, including TDEC (Transmitter and Dispersion Eye Closure) measurement. The application brings together NRZ optical measurements in a simple and easy to use application. This application is designed to minimize the waveform analysis time which suits the manufacturing environment.

This application is intended to be installed on a PC and works by connecting to the sampling scope. Application allows you to acquire signal directly from the connected DSA8300 sampling oscilloscope and analyze the acquired waveform data.

Key features

• Simultaneously analyze up to 4 optical channels

• Characterization of 100Gbps Optical transceivers (SR4, LR4) devices with Mask margin measurements. Perform optimal mask fitting for better margin.

• Support for Transmitter dispersion eye closure (TDEC) and Vertical eye closure penalty (VECP) measurements.

• Support for 80C10C, 80C17, 80C18, 80C20 and 80C21 optical modules.

• Signal characterization measurements such as Amplitude and Timing measurements

• Support for Phase reference characterization clock for more accurate results.

• Support for measurements at various population limits.

• Show results as numeric and graphical display.

• Display 2D eye diagrams with embedded mask

• Save the analysis results to a file.

• Run multiple instances of the application and connect each of them to different DSA8300s' and perform parallel analysis of multiple channels.
