Option 101 requires Option 100 and adds additional
capability:
• Periodic jitter frequency
• Isolation and analysis of Sub-Rate Jitter (SRJ),
that is, periodic jitter that is at an integer sub-rate
of the bitrate.
• Bathtub curve display
• Jitter Mode operation with the patented 86107A
Precision Timebase Module
• Adjustable total jitter probability
As bit rates increase, channel effects cause significant
eye closure. Many new devices and systems are
employing equalization and pre/de-emphasis to
compensate for channel effects. Option 101 Advanced
Waveform Analysis will provide key tools to enable
design and test of devices and systems that must deal
with difficult channel effects:
• Capture of long single valued waveforms. PatternLock
triggering and the waveform append capability of
Option 101 enable very accurate pulse train data sets
up to 256 megasamples long.
• Equalization. The DCA-J can take a long single
valued waveform and route it through an equalizer
algorithm (default or user defined) and display
the resultant equalized waveform. The user can
simultaneously view the input (distorted) and output
(equalized) waveforms.
• Pattern lock triggering with 86107A
Digital communications analysis
Accurate eye-diagram analysis is essential for
characterizing the quality of transmitters used from
100 Mb/s to 40 Gb/s. The 86100C was designed
specifically for the complex task of analyzing digital
communications waveforms. Compliance mask and
parametric testing no longer require a complicated
sequence of setups and configurations. If you can press
a button, you can perform a complete compliance test.
The important measurements you need are right at your
fingertips, including:
• industry standard mask testing with built-in
margin analysis
• extinction ratio measurements with accuracy and
repeatability
• eye measurements: crossing %, eye height and width,
‘1’ and ‘0’ levels, jitter, rise or fall times and more
The key to accurate measurements of lightwave
communications waveforms is the optical receiver.
The 86100C has a broad range of precision receivers
integrated within the instrument.
• Built-in photodiodes, with flat frequency responses,
yield the highest waveform fidelity. This provides high
accuracy for extinction ratio measurements.
• Standards-based transmitter compliance measurements
require filtered responses. The 86100C has a broad
range of filter combinations. Filters can be automatically
and repeatably switched in or out of the measurement
channel remotely over GPIB or with a front panel
button. The frequency response of the entire
measurement path is calibrated, and will maintain
its performance over long-term usage.
• The integrated optical receiver provides a calibrated
optical channel. With the accurate optical receiver
built into the module, optical signals are accurately
measured and displayed in optical power units.
Switches or couplers are not required for an average
power measurement. Signal routing is simplified and
signal strength is maintained.
Eye diagram mask testing
The 86100C provides efficient, high-throughput
waveform compliance testing with a suite of standards
based eye-diagram masks. The test process has been
streamlined into a minimum number of keystrokes for
testing at industry standard data rates.

tested, and stop/limit actions.
Other eye-diagram
masks are easily
created through scaling
those listed at left. In
addition, mask editing
allows for new masks
either by editing
existing masks, or
creating new masks
from scratch. A new
mask can also be
created or modified on
an external PC using a
text editor such as
Notepad, then can be
transferred to the
instrument’s hard
drive using LAN or
the A: drive.
