Tektronix software automates DisplayPort transmitter tests
-- Test & Measurement World, 1/19/2008 9:00:00 AM
Early adopter software from Tektronix implements and automates the tests identified in the DisplayPort physical layer source compliance test specification. The software adds predefined test sets that are automatically executed, reducing test time and minimizing user intervention.
The DPO-DISPLAYPORT-Tx software runs on the recently announced DPOJET jitter and eye diagram analysis software application for DPO7000 and DPO/DSA70000 Series oscilloscopes. The 8-GHz scopes are the primary instrument for DisplayPort transmitter testing. DisplayPort digital display interface technology for computers, monitors, and home-theater systems aims to lower implementation costs and improve video performance. DisplayPort 1.1 gives manufacturers of LCD panels, monitors, graphics cards, PC chipsets, projectors, peripherals, components, and consumer electronics a next-generation digital interface that is designed to replace LVDS, DVI, and eventually VGA.
DPO-DISPLAYPORT-Tx software builds on the measurement capabilities of DPOJET, adding specific new measurements required by the DisplayPort compliance test specification, plus automated test sequencing and report generation.
The DPO-DISPLAYPORT-Tx early adopter software is available for downloading at www.tektronix.com/software. For more information on DisplayPort and recommended compliance test equipment, go to www.tek.com/displayport.
