Take the frustration out of
communications testing

Now there’s an easier way to prove your
products conform to industry standards.
Use an HP Infiniium oscilloscope with the
Communication Mask Option to get your job
done more quickly. HP Infiniium’s familiar
Windows interface makes it easy for you to

access the masks you need and configure your
tests. Plus you’ll find a variety of special mask
test features that save you time and trouble.
The Communication Mask Test Kit comes
complete with a library of mask templates and
a set of electrical communication adapters to
assure convenient, reliable and accurate
connections to your device under test.

Communication mask test

The Communication Mask Template Library
comes on a single 3.5" floppy disk for easy
installation onto HP Infiniium’s hard disk drive.
Configuring a mask test is fast and easy, too.
The mask test dialog box lets you select the
oscilloscope channel and display masks
contained in the mask template library. Once
your test is configured, you can dismiss the
dialog box to maximize waveform viewing area
and control your test directly using popup
menus. You’ll see an on-screen indication of the
current mask and its data rate.

Once you’ve chosen the appropriate mask,
simply click on the Align button to
automatically perform a fast, exhaustive search
for the optimum fit of the mask to the test
signal. This virtually eliminates the need for
manual adjustments to your oscilloscope. This
is an especially valuable feature for production
test applications.

You can perform a "compare" test on positive or
negative pulses to check the waveform’s
compliance with the mask standard. You can

run the test until a single failure has occurred,
a given number of waveforms have been
captured, or a specific period of time has
elapsed.

Use the mouse or HP Infiniium’s keyboard to
add labels or notes to your screen images, then
save them to the floppy or hard disk. The
built-in LAN interface makes it easy to transfer
these images to network computers so you can
share or document your work. You can also
print the waveform to local or network printers.

"Isolated ones" triggering

It is necessary to isolate a pulse for mask
testing to eliminate intersymbol interference
caused by adjacent pulses. HP Infiniium’s
Communication Mask Test Option makes this
easy through the use of "isolated ones"
triggering for pulse mask templates, eliminating
the need for sophisticated pattern generators.
When you load in a pulse mask, HP Infiniium
automatically sets up the trigger to capture an
"isolated one" pattern as defined by the
particular ANSI or ITU standard.

Connecting to your Device under Test

Product compliance testing requires proper
connection to your communications device.
Included in the Option 100 kit is a set of
electrical termination adapters and adapter
cables to assure convenient, reliable and
accurate connections to your device under
test. The kit also includes system performance
accessories and the Mask Template Library
software – all packaged in a protective, hard­shell case.

HP E2621A 100/110/120-ohm termination adapter

The HP E2621A ac-coupled, balanced adapter
allows connection to differential communications
signals by terminating the signal into 100, 110 or
120 ohms. It also adapts various connector styles
(i.e., bantam, RJ48C and Siemens) to the
oscilloscope’s 50-ohm BNC input. You can select the
termination impedance using the built-in, three-way
switch. The AutoProbe interface allows the
HP Infiniium oscilloscope to recognize the
HP E2621A and read the termination switch
setting. Furthermore, HP Infiniium will flag you
when the switch setting differs from the standard’s
required termination impedance.

Characteristics

The HP E2621A complies with the following
ANSI T1.102 and ITU-T G.703 Standards:

DS1 (1.544 Mb/s)
DS1A (2.048 Mb/s)
DS1C (3.152 Mb/s)
DS2 (6.312 Mb/s)
E1 (2.048 Mb/s)

Bandwidth (-3 dB): <10 kHz to >100 MHz
Rise Time: <3.5 ns
Attenuation: 5X (-14 dB) ± 3%

(50 kHz to 30 MHz)

HP E2622A 75-ohm termination adapter

The HP E2622A dc-coupled, unbalanced
adapter allows you to connect communications
signals such as DS3 and E3 to the oscilloscope’s
50-ohm BNC input. The AutoProbe interface
allows HP Infiniium to recognize the
HP E2622A and automatically configure itself.

Characteristics

The HP E2622A complies with the following
ANSI T1.102 and ITU-T G.703 Standards:

DS3 (44.736 Mb/s)
DS4NA (139.264 Mb/s)
STS1 (51.840 Mb/s)

Bandwidth (-3 dB): >1 GHz*
Rise Time: <350 ps
Attenuation: 5X (-14 dB) ± 1.5%

* Full bandwidth only achievable with HP 54845A 1.5 GHz oscilloscope.
