TekExpress® Automotive Ethernet Compliance Analysis Solution Application Help 8

Welcome

Welcome
The TekExpress Automotive Ethernet application is a compliance test solution to perform transmitter electrical specification measurements and MDI return loss measurements in accordance to IEEE. Supports an OPEN Alliance PMA test suites for the Automotive Ethernet technologies; 10BASE-T1S, 100BASE-T1, 1000BASE-T1, and MultiGBASE-T1. The IEEE specifications for 10BASE-T1S, 100BASE-T1, 1000BASE-T1, and MultiGBASE-T1 technologies are IEEE Std 802.3cg™-2019, IEEE P802.3bw™/D3.3 , IEEE P802.3bpTM-2016 and IEEE Std 802.3ch™ -2020 respectively.
Key features
Fully automated setup wizard to perform transmitter electrical specification measurements and MDI electrical specification return loss measurements.
Comprehensive reports of results with Pass/Fail status along with plots
Offers full coverage of test measurements
An instrument offers full coverage of measurements. Return Loss measurement is offered as a patented approach and requires an oscilloscope only, without the need of an additional instrument (VNA).
Power Spectral Density (PSD) is an oscilloscope-based measurement and Spectrum analyzer is not required.
TekExpress Automotive Ethernet application offers you a patented Return Loss measurement, which allows you to perform the measurement without using a VNA.
Transmit distortion measurement without need of external hardware clock divider unit, using software signal correction method.
Validates Test Mode signals before performing measurements.
Ability to run the measurements multiple times and generate result statistics across runs.

Setting up the test environment

Calibrate the Oscilloscope

Setting up the test environment
Calibration step is done to calibrate the disturber signal source amplitude and frequency PIN points on the test fixture. You can perform calibration on live DUT signal and disturber source signal connected as mentioned in the calibration connection diagram.
Note: It is recommended to do calibration of the waveforms for Transmitter Distortion
measurement on page 116.

Automate AWG/AFG signal generation

The T
ekExpress Automotive Ethernet application allows you to automatically load the pattern files in AWG/AFG and generate the signals. Ensure that the GPIB/LAN/USB connection between the oscilloscope and AWG/AFG is established, before you automate the signal generation. The AWG/AFG automation is supported for the following measurements:
Transmitter Distortion on page 122: AWG/AFG is used to transmit a disturbing signal. CH1 and CH1_inverted are used.
Return Loss measurement on page 116: AWG/AFG is used to transmit a wide band signal. CH1 and CH1_inverted are used for
transmission of the signal. A marker signal has to be connected to the auxiliary channel of the oscilloscope (used as trigger source).
How to automate AWG/AFG signal generation
Complete the following steps in the TekExpress application to automate the signal generation from AWG/AFG:
1. Click in the upper right corner of the application and select Instrument Control Settings.
2. Select Search Criteria as USB and click Refresh; when the Retrieved Instruments table is uploaded with the connected instruments
list, click Close.
