The 86100D DCA-X has been engineered for unmatched accuracy, insight, and ease-of-use. The DCA-X provides engineers with the tools needed to characterize their high-speed digital designs easily and accurately.

The DCA-X mainframe platform allows engineers to make next-generation measurements that include integrated de-embedding capability. At the same time, the DCA-X is 100 percent backwards compatible with all previous DCA modules and completely code compatible with the 86100C.

The high analog bandwidth, low noise, and low jitter measurements offered by the DCA helps engineers see the true performance of their designs on signals from 50 Mb/s to more than 40 Gb/s.

The modular DCA platform can be configured for optical, electrical, TDR/TDT, and S-parameter measurement capability.

• Scope Mode yields the most accurate waveform measurements
  
• Eye/Mask Mode provides fast and accurate compliance testing of transceivers
  
• TDR/TDT Mode for precision impedance measurements with S-Parameter capability
  
• Jitter and Amplitude Mode for comprehensive analysis of signal characteristics
  
• Integrated de-embedding, embedding, and equalization capability
  
• Jitter Spectrum and Phase Locked Loop (PLL) Analysis
  
• Jitter analysis on long patterns such as PRBS31
  
• Custom measurements and analysis using The MathWorks MATLAB software
  
• Modular platform supports up to 16 parallel channels
  
• Graphical signal processing
