8. Follow the on-screen prompts to test the DUT for the available frequencies. The Transmit Jitter
MAX test is run at three frequencies. The application prompts you to configure the DUT for each of
these frequencies: 4.096 MHz, 5.688 MHz, and 6.144 MHz. If your device supports the frequency,
configure the DUT for the frequency and proceed with measurement.

How ToMake Connections for a Differential Receiver Test
Connect the equipment as shown in the following diagram:
NOTE. To view the equipment setup diagram, click the Show Schematic button.
1. Connect a LAN cross-cable from the digital oscilloscope to the waveform generator, and enable the
TekVISA connection to the waveform generator and to the digital oscilloscope.
2. Connect an SMA cable to the Ch1 Marker1 output and to Ch2 on the digital oscilloscope.
3. Connect the HEAC-TPA plug board to the HEAC connector of the Source/Sink DUT.
4. Connect the Ch1 A nalog(+) output of the arbitrary waveform generator to the HEAC+ SMA connector
on the HEAC-TPA main board and the Ch2 Analog(+) to HEAC– SMA connector.
5. Set the Impedance Conversion Circuit on the HEAC-TPA main board to 50 Ω:

6. Connect a differential probe to the HEAC± differential signal probe point on the HEAC-TPA main
board.
7. Connect the CEC or CDC Controller to CEC/CDC Control Port of the HEAC-TPA main board.
8. If you are testing a Sink DUT, set the HEAC-TPA main board to enable the Sink DUT test. Set switch
S7 position to the left (Off) on the HEAC-TPA main board.
If you are testing a Source DUT, set the HEAC-TPA main board to enable the Source DUT test.
Activate +4 V bias by using the +5 V power from the Source DUT. Set switch S7 to the right (On
position) on the HEAC-TPA main fixture.
9. Activate the HEC transmission on the HEAC Source/Sink DUT using the CEC/CDC controller.
