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.

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.

TekExpress Automotive Ethernet saves all acquisition waveforms to files by default. Waveforms are saved in a unique folder
for each session (a session starts when you click the Start button). The folder path is X:\Automotive-Ethernet \Untitled Session
\<dutid>\<date>_<time>. Images created for each analysis, CSV files with result values, reports and other information specific to that
particular execution are also saved in this folder.

Saving a session moves the session file contents from the Untitled Session folder to the specified folder name and changes the session
name to the specified name.

Acquire step by step
The Acquire Step By Step option is available in the Acquisitions panel. This is a global parameter that is applied to all tests when selected.
By default, this option is deselected.
When selected, this parameter allows for display of the reference input waveform of the selected measurement. This helps to compare the
input waveform coming from DUT with the typical reference waveform (snapshot), allowing you to change the setup before acquiring the
waveforms.
Note: When using prerecorded waveform files, the Acquire Step By Step option is not available.

convention to save the waveform for pre-recorded mode analysis as shown in the below points:
The naming convention for differential 5GBASE-T1 waveform will be _DataRate_5G_Run1_Diff_

5G Conveys the data rate of the waveform.
Run1 Indicates the iteration index, which is helpful for the Muti-Run
