8 Series Sampling Oscilloscope

• Optical bandwidth above 30 GHz
• Single mode and multi-mode support for short and long wavelength optical testing
• Optical Reference Receiver (ORR)1 support for standard compliance testing

• Design/verification of High-Speed Components and Systems
• Signal integrity analysis
• Compliance test for industry NRZ and PAM4 standards: 10G, 50G, 100G, 200G, 400G IEEE 3TM standards (such as 400GBASE-FR8, 400GBASEDR4) and similar optical direct detect standards.

• New system architecture
  • Disaggregated: The product consists of the TSO820 mainframe, pluggable modules, acquisition hardware, and the TSOVu software analysis application that runs on a user’s PC with Windows. Users have the capability to scale their analysis platforms to their needs and can connect from anywhere on the network
  • Configurable: The TSO820 mainframe supports user-swappable current and future optical modules
• Optical modules
  • Accurate testing and characterization of short or long wave optical signals using the high sensitivity and low noise performance of the TSO8C17 or TSO8C18 modules
  • Optical reference receivers (ORR)1 supports specified requirements for standards-mandated compliance testing
  • User configurable bandwidth supported through Bandwidth Enhancement (BWE) filters. Extend the TSO8C17 and TSO8C18 optical bandwidth up to 35 GHz in 0001 GHz increments for precise control
  • Extinction ratio measurements with built-in variable ER correction to ensure accuracy and repeatability
• Analysis with TSOVu®
  • TSOVu: Oscilloscope software application that runs independent of the oscilloscope mainframe on users’ computers or server for both live and post-processing of acquired data
  • TSOVu offers comprehensive analysis of NRZ or PAM4 optical signals. Includes support for eye diagrams, NRZ mask testing, optical measurements such as TDECQ, and other standard measurements
  • New measurement plug-ins can be dynamically installed as needed
• High test throughput
  • Simultaneous capture of all channels at a high sample acquisition rate of 300 kS/s
  • Sophisticated Programmatic Interface (PI) for automation environments enables the highest test throughput. Each command supports full data synchronization, eliminating the need for wait / sleep statements

Compliance test for 10G, 50G, 100G, 200G, and 400G IEEE 802.3TM standards such as 400GBASE-FR8, 400GBASE-DR4, and similar optical direct detect standards. The TSO820 Sampling Oscilloscope is also designed to support high speed NRZ standards such as 100 Gb Ethernet (100GBASE-LR4 or similar) that operates at a rate of 25.78125 Gb/s. Stay up-to-date on the latest standards changes by updating or adding new measurement plug-ins as they are released.
