The TDSDVD application is designed to meet the test
requirements of the CD/DVD/MO industry for current and
next-generation designs. Supported tests include industry
specific amplitude, timing and jitter measurements, along
with the flexibility to substitute any of the signal processing
blocks for testing next-generation designs.
