• Dramatically simplified transceiver measurements that provide just the essential tests via the one page graphical user interface (running on an external Windows® XP PC via a USB 2.0 interface)
• Standard measurements at fixed rates between 125 Mb/s and 3.125 Gb/s
• Generation of Pseudo Random Bit Sequence (PRBS) polynomials and a K28.5 pattern at Low Voltage Differential Signal (LVDS) or Emitter Coupled Logic (ECL) levels
• Optical and electrical error injection (once or at selectable Bit-Error-Ratio)
• Analysis of gated Bit-Error-Ratio with display of the absolute number of errors and selectability of gate time
• Flexible connections to the device under test via 3.5 mm differential electrical coax connectors and/or standard optical SFP module plug-ins
• Full programmability of all graphical user interface features from another software program, making automation in manufacturing an easy task

Agilent N5980A 3.125 Gb/s生產用串行BERT(比特誤碼率測試儀)可對制造收發(fā)模塊的過程進行測試，其價格只是當前N4906B BERT的三分之一。它還具有獨立的電接口和光接口(SFP插件)，提供雙倍的*大吞吐率。除了具有價格優(yōu)勢以外，它還把測試成本降低了6倍。

另外，N5980A的體積縮小了6倍，節(jié)省了寶貴的空間，進一步降低了測試成本。因此，尤其針對低成本、高吞吐率的測試應用而言（比如千兆位收發(fā)模塊制造），它已經成為*具有吸引力的測試解決方案。
