Welcome
The CPHYXpress application is used to create signals as per C-PHY standards.
■
Generates waveform as per C-PHY standard.
■
Programmable signal generation.
■
Generates different types of waveforms like Low Power (LP), Hugh Speed
(HS), and Low Power- High Speed (LP-HS).
■
Programmable Rise-time and Fall-time values.
■
Easily insert periodic jitter and random jitter to CPHY HS waveforms.
■
Embed the channel effect using S-Parameter and Filter files.
■
Configure different HS burst timing configuration.
■
Adds Sine noise in waveform using LP mode impairments.
■
Waveform creation using Batch mode for stress testing.
■
Enables Master-Slave configuration of AWG to support three waveforms
simultaneously.
■
Enhanced waveform generation for receiver margin testing.
■
Generate three levels of signal from AWG.
ix
Welcome
This software can be run in the following ways:
■
Install CPHYXpress on a PC (through SourceXpress) and connect to
AWG70002A series arbitrary waveform generator via LAN connection.
■
CPHYXpress integrated with AWG70002A series arbitrary waveform
generator (CPHYXpress installed in the AWG).
