The TekExpress Automotive Ethernet automated testing application
The Tektronix Automotive Ethernet application offers exceptional ease of use with the TekExpress Automation platform. Testing follows a logical workflow for quick, easy test setups, changes and review of test results. Valid testing requires proper cabling, probes, and connections between fixtures, instruments, and the device under test (DUT). The TekExpress Automotive Ethernet application provides setup instructions for each test, with images and reference illustrations showing correct configurations. It generates a comprehensive, date-stamped test report with pass/fail results, waveforms, and data plots.
Accurate, repeatable compliance tests follow a 5-step workflow.
Step 1: Selection of test suite
Test selections includes Automotive Ethernet 100BASE-T1, 1000BASE-T1, and MultiGBASE-T1. You can select different speed gears for MultiGBASE-T1. The test selection, test limits, and configuration will be selected based on the test suite chosen. You can test using live oscilloscope waveforms or previously recorded waveforms or sessions.
Step 2: Test selection
Based on the test suite selection in Step 1, the TekExpress Automotive Ethernet application allows you to select one or multiple tests from the test tree for the respective test suite.
A schematic views and descriptions guide you through connections, along with test information and golden waveforms. If you select multiple tests, the application will provide prompts to set the correct DUT test mode and make the appropriate connections.
Step 3: Signal validation
It is important to validate the signal parameters before performing a compliance test. The TekExpress application checks for the correct test mode waveform before running any test. This ensures that the proper test connections are in place and that the DUT is sending the appropriate test pattern.
Step 4: Configuration of User defined and Compliance Mode
The TekExpress Automotive Ethernet application allows you to configure the test in compliance mode or user defined mode. In compliance mode, the application configures the oscilloscope per the test procedure defined in the test specifications from the applicable standard. The DUT is tested against limits defined by the standard.
In user defined mode, you can change the test parameters such as record length, sample rate, etc., as well as test limits. User-defined Mode allows you to test your device beyond compliance.
Step 5: Preferences
The TekExpress application allows you to run multiple consecutive tests for statistical analysis. You can save the waveforms from failed tests for debugging.
Pass/Fail report:
Creating compliance test documentation is quick and easy in the TekExpress application with a summary report in MHL or PDF formats. The TekExpress application generates a report after the test execution is complete, and includes pass/fail status to quickly analyze the test results. The report also includes test configuration details, waveform plots, oscilloscope displays, margin analysis, and statistical analysis to provide insights into your design.
Single instrument for time domain and frequency domain measurements
Automotive Ethernet compliance testing includes time domain measurements like jitter, droop, clock frequency and peak differential output. It also includes frequency domain measurements such as power spectral density and return loss. The Tektronix Automotive Ethernet application allows you to perform all of these measurements using an oscilloscope, eliminating the need to connect a spectrum analyzer or vector network analyzer.
Return loss measurement
The MDI return loss measurement determines the impedance mismatch from the differential impedance specification of 100 Ω, which will affect hardware interoperability. Return loss is a frequency domain measurement, but the Automotive Ethernet application can perform this test with an oscilloscope and function generator using a patented measurement approach. Return loss using this method is available for 10BASE-T1S, 100BASE-T1, and 1000BASE-T1.
Power spectral density
The power spectral density of a test signal for the selected standard is computed using oscilloscope math functions. Post processing is done on the signal to arrive at the PSD. The computed PSD is then compared with the specification by using lower and upper masks to arrive at the final result.
Analysis and debug beyond compliance
If a DUT fails any portion of the compliance test, powerful debugging and analysis tools such as DPOJET jitter analysis, PAM4 analysis, and protocol decoding are available to determine root cause and examine system-level performance.
DPOJET Jitter Analysis measurements (Opt. DJA)
The new jitter measurements introduced with MultiGBASE-T1 Ethernet provide separate limits for Deterministic Jitter (DJ), Even Odd Jitter (EOJ) and Random jitter (Rj). The DPOJET jitter analysis tool provides additional analysis capabilities like crosstalk and power noise separation to help find the root cause of failures.
Jitter tests quantify the timing variations of the edges of the signal, using specified test patterns. These jitter measurements include the contributions from duty cycle distortion and baseline wander. Jitter is determined by accumulating waveforms and measuring the width of the accumulated points at the eye crossing. The peak-to-peak jitter is inferred from minimum and maximum values in the tails of the histogram. 
Apart from jitter measurements for MultiGBASE-T1, DPOJET allows you to perform analysis for following measurements:
- Clock frequency and transmitter amplitude with histogram and trend analysis
- Positive and negative droop measurements
- Full characterization of jitter performance including TIE and histogram profiles.
PAM4 Analysis (Option PAM4)
Automotive MultiGBASE-T1 uses four-level Pulse Amplitude Modulation (PAM4) for physical layer transmission since PAM4 signaling needs half the bandwidth as NRZ for the same data rate. However the 4 levels of PAM4 introduce additional complexity in signaling and place new demands on the test methodology. The PAM4 analysis tool offers several measurement and visualization capabilities to make validating PAM4 designs significantly more efficient.
PAM4 Analysis
- Enhanced software clock recovery offers the industry's most robust clock recovery capability even from heavily impaired signals.
- Integrated receiver equalization: Apply CTLE, FFE and DFE equalization to the acquired waveform to open a closed eye. Model different types of receiver settings to perform what-if analysis.
- Configurable Bessel-Thomson filter offers the flexibility to tune bandwidth of the measurement receiver, either manually or automatically, based on detected data rate.
- Waveform filter enables embed or de-embed test fixtures or channel models.
PAM4 Measurements
- Jitter measurement and eye analysis: Full Characterization of the PAM4 eyes to support standard based and debug analysis.
- Rise and fall times for all 12 PAM4 transitions offer the capability to analyze each transition type in the PAM4 signal.
- Symbol and bit error detector: Accumulate SER and BER over multiple acquisition cycles.
Plots and reports
- Comprehensive plots enable in-depth analysis: HTML report captures all the relevant setup configuration, measurement test results, and plot in single file that is easy to read and share. Measurement results across multiple acquisitions can be exported to a consolidated CSV file for easy multi-run analysis.
Automotive Ethernet decoder for 100BASE-T1 (Opt. SR-AUTOETH1)
Decode and display Automotive Ethernet data in a protocol-aware view with the characters and names that are familiar from the standard such as the ordered sets: SOF, Electrical Idle, and EOF.
You can now feed the output of directional coupler to Tektronix oscilloscope for time domain view. SR-AUTOETH1 100BASE-T1 protocol decode software runs on DPO70000SX and MSO/DPO70000 Series oscilloscopes and easily decodes PAM3-encoded 100BASET1 signal. This enables engineers to quickly understand the protocol activity between the ECUs. A time-correlated event table view with waveform allows for quickly searching through events of interest simultaneously.
Key feautures
- Decodes PAM3 encoded 100BASE-T1 signals.
- Decodes Send_N mode packets without any training sequence.
- Validate FCS and reports error packets in red.
- Display the time stamp, packet type, IP source and destination address, decoding of the payload.
- Detail view correlates the decoded packets with waveform using a bus diagram.
- Separately displays Master and Slave packets.
- Export the decoded data in CSV or TXT file format.
- Report generation.
