USB DRIVER INSTALLATION – PAGE 1 OF 4

The 1504 system will be shipped with a USB drive that contains the documentation needed to set-up the EBERT 1504 system on a windows based computer per the screen shot below using windows explorer:

You will see the user manual, datasheet and product brief in the main directory. One folder contains the USB driver and the SetupEBERT1504.msi is the GUI installation file. Copy the files from the USB drive over to the computers main drive. Per this example, create a new folder under the main drive called 1504 where you can copy the files into per this example C:\EBERT1504.

The USB driver software will connect the EBERT 1504 system onto the COM port for ease of integration into older legacy software systems.

Plug the USB cable between the computer and the EBERT 1504 test system. Then plug the power cord from an AC outlet and the EBERT 1504 test system. Then locate the power button on the back faceplate and turn the system on.

You will see the back LED turn green to let you know that main power is applied and the front LED will give you the status of the system, Upon turning on, the LED will be orange for 15 seconds to let you know that is going through its initialization sequence. Once completed it will then turn green to let you know that is ready to operate.

Now connect the USB cable between the computer and the EBERT 1504 system. Windows will recognize the new connection and will typically display the new hardware found wizard per the next screen shot.

EXAMPLE OF HOW TO LOOP BACK DATA FOR VERIFICATION TESTING OF A SINGLE CHANNEL

1. Add two SMA cables to a channel and loop them from the TX to the RX maintaining correct polarity.

2. Launch the EBERT 1504 GUI.

3. Select the com port drop down list and record what com ports are already connected to the computer.

4. Connect the USB cable from the EXERT 1504 system to the computer.

5. Using the switch on the back of the panel turn on the system.

6. The front LED will be orange for 15 seconds and then turn green to let you know that its initialized.

7. After the LED turns green, select the com port drop down list and select the new com port number that represent the 1504 system.

8. Now press connect and the system will initialize one more time turning the LED orange and then back to green. The screen will be disabled until the initialization process is completed and then control will be reestablished.

9. Upon initialization, the system is reset to the following conditions. The system clock is set to 10.3125 Gb/s and the trigger is /64 with a amplitude of 500 mVPPDIFF. The TX is set to 2^31 with the outputs squelched. The RX is set to 2^31 with the error detector off. The polarity of the TX and the RX is set to positive. If not using the front panel clock in or out then use SMA termination loads of 50 ohms that were shipped with the system.

10. Now click on the TX squelch check box for the appropriate channel to disable squelch.

11. Now the controls for that channel are enabled and you can choose the output level along with pre-and post emphasis settings. For this example we will select 500 mVPPDIFF and leave the emphasis controls at zero. We will also leave the pattern at 2^31 and positive polarity for this example.

12. Now select the start BER button for the corresponding RX channel that the SMA cables are connected to. You should see the CDR lock button turn green and the bit error count at zero with the timer running.

13. Now select insert single error for the corresponding channel and you will see that error in the count box. Press clear BER to get rid of the single error however this will not reset the clock. To reset the clock time you must press stop and then restart.

EXAMPLE OF HOW TO MEASURE A TX EYE DIAGRAM

1. Add two SMA cables to a TX channel and connect them to a high speed scope with enough electrical bandwidth to capture an eye diagram. Also if this is a sampling scope then connect another SMA from clock out to the trigger input of the scope. Both the TX and trigger outputs are AC coupled so no external capacitors are needed to avoid CML biasing issues.

2. Launch the EBERT 1504 GUI.

3. Select the com port drop down list and record what com ports are already connected to the computer.

4. Connect the USB cable from the EXERT 1504 system to the computer.

5. Using the switch on the back of the panel turn on the system.

6. The front LED will be orange for 15 seconds and then turn green to let you know that its initialized.

7. After the LED turns green, select the com port drop down list and select the new com port number that represent the 1504 system.

8. Now press connect and the system will initialize one more time turning the LED orange and then back to green. The screen will be disabled until the initialization process is completed and then control will be reestablished.

9. Upon initialization, the system is reset to the following conditions. The system clock is set to 10.3125 Gb/s and the trigger is /64 with a amplitude of 500 mVPPDIFF. The TX is set to 2^31 with the outputs squelched. The polarity of the TX is set to positive. If not using the front panel clock in or out then use SMA termination loads of 50 ohms that were shipped with the system.

10. Now click on the TX squelch check box for the appropriate channel to disable squelch.

11. Now the controls for that channel are enabled and you can choose the output level along with pre-and post emphasis settings. For this example we will select 500 mVPPDIFF and leave the emphasis controls at zero. We will also leave the pattern at 2^31 and positive polarity for this example.

12. Now set the scope to the proper voltage and time settings to capture an eye diagram. Select different amplitudes along with adjusting the emphasis controls to change or optimize the eye diagram.

EXAMPLE OF HOW TO USE THE RX EYE DIAGRAM PART 2 OF 2

13. Now select the start BER button for the corresponding RX channel that the SMA cables are connected to. You should see the CDR lock button turn green and the bit error count at zero with the timer running.

14. Now select insert single error for the corresponding channel and you will see that error in the count box. Press clear BER to get rid of the single error however this will not reset the clock. To reset the clock time you must press stop and then restart.

15. Now that traffic has been established now press stop BER test as its not needed anymore.

16. Select the eye diagram tab

17. Within the new display select the proper RX channel that the RF cables are attached to.

18. Now select the step size which is the resolution that the monitor will measure. The lower the step size then the more time it will take the measure the 64X128 array. For this exercise we will select 4.

19. Now click the eye size button, this is a quick routine that finds the center of the eye and measures the voltage and phase opening. It should return a mUI and mV number however if it reports zero then something with the set-up is wrong and needs to be investigated (usually on the wrong TX or RX port).

20. Now click on the view eye diagram button and wait for the eye to be displayed. You will see the front panel LED blink multiple times as data is being transferred back and forth between the GUI and the system. Remember that the system has a limiting amplifier at the RX input for increased sensitivity so the voltage levels won’t correspond to the input voltage however with the use of external attenuators you can get some correlation when operating in the limiting amplifiers linear region of sensitivity. Phase information won’t be effected though.

EXAMPLE OF HOW TO USE CABLE CALIBRATION FEATURE TO OFFSET SET-UP LOSSES

1. Connect a precision voltage measurement source at the end of a long SMA cable for this example.

2. Set the voltage amplitude for the channel that you are calibrating to the desired voltage level. Also set the frequency of operation as this will also effect the signal voltage amplitude.

3. Measure the voltage output at the end of the SMA cable and record its value. Subtract the GUI setting versus the measurement and this will be your offset voltage. The step resolution of the system is 25 mVPP peak for each channel and 12.5 mVPP for the trigger so you will need to round your offset number up or down.

4. Click on the cable calibration button and a pull down menu will display three other sub-menus called Setup Calibration, Load Calibration and Turn Calibration Off. Now click on the button for Setup Calibration and load in the offsets for each channel and trigger if needed. Now click on save to load the offsets.

5. Click on the Cable Calibration button and then click on Load Calibration to apply the offsets. A new yellow button called Cable Offset On will appear to remind you that the offsets are being applied on top of any command. You can click on the Cable Offset On button at any time to display the channel offsets as a reminder.

6. To turn off the offsets you will need to click on the Cable Calibration button and then click Turn Calibration Off and the yellow button labeled Cable Offset On will disappear.

7. As a side note, Configuration File Load and save will keep the cable offset numbers and status so it can be used to save offsets at different frequencies, TX voltage level settings and DUT configurations to provide flexability.
