Compliance On Time from Anywhere

Be more efficient and complete testing faster.

QPHY2-PC processes waveform data offline and frees the oscilloscope for other testing.
More efficient use of lab resources – optimize oscilloscope usage.
Complete testing faster – share test session across multiple labs and locations.

Unified Compliance Test Framework with Simplified Test Interface

QualiPHY 2 makes it simple to manage Tx and Rx test sessions in one unified test framework and automate all tests in a single process flow. Capture waveforms and perform only those tests and assessments necessary in the lab and maximize lab efficiency by deferring the complete final test and reporting outside the lab and offline from the equipment.

Improve test automation using powerful Python-enabled program control.

Create Looping on control parameters for production verification testing (PVT).
Repeat tests multiple times for repeatability.
Pretest and post test functions using your own Python scripts.

Leverage the ‘Capture Only’ mode in QualiPHY 2 to collect device waveform data on the oscilloscope in the lab.

The test tree is used to configure settings and select specific compliance tests to be completed.
Waveforms from multiple devices, firmware versions, and test conditions can be captured in the same test session.
All waveforms are captured and saved in the single QualiPHY 2 test session file.

Analyze captured waveforms immediately in the lab using the oscilloscope PC, and make immediate determinations on the quality of the device under test and the test setup.

Use Session Management capabilities to define and perform tests.
Use QualiPHY 2 algorithms, SDA Expert software, or 3rd party software such as Intel’s SigTest or AMD’s SeaSim to perform initial assessments.
Perform final captures and make measurements (as desired) with pass/fail results and margins loaded to the results database.

The QualiPHY 2 Results Database puts all the results right at your fingertips, ready for immediate review. Then, create a targeted report tailored to the specific task.

Each test appears indexed by run number
Table format provides sorting and filtering.
Export table to .csv for additional analysis.
Report ‘All’ test results, ‘Best’ or ‘Worst’ results under various conditions, or ‘Last’ when running final compliance test on a golden device.

QPHY2-PC Off-line Compliance Test Software

Perform compliance testing on-time from anywhere. QPHY2-PC products permit you to capture waveforms in your lab and take your test session off-line, freeing the oscilloscope for other testing in the lab. It is compatible with any QualiPHY 2 software option.

Post-process waveforms, analyze test results, and generate reports away from the oscilloscope.
More efficient use of lab resources.
Share test sessions across multiple labs and locations

QPHY2-PC for Validation and Compliance, On Time, From Anywhere

Maximize your lab efficiency and keep your project schedule on time. QPHY2-PC revolutionizes lab efficiency by transferring non-acquisition tasks from the oscilloscope to a separate remote PC to maximize productivity.

‘Analysis Only’ mode in QPHY2-PC efficiently post-processes waveform data on the remote computer, freeing up the oscilloscope in the lab for other testing tasks.

Simply open the test session file on the remote computer and continue with testing .
Waveforms are analyzed offline by MAUI® Studio, Teledyne LeCroy’s SDA Expert software, or 3rd party software such as Intel’s SigTest or AMD’s SeaSim.
Measurements, pass/fail, and margin are loaded to the results database at the completion of all tests.

The Results Database in QPHY2-PC is the same database in the QualiPHY 2 software and results are merged when data sets are imported into a common test session. All the device results are at your fingertips and ready for immediate review.

Each test appears indexed by run number.
Table format provides sorting and filtering.
Export table to .csv for additional analysis.

Use QPHY2-PC Reporting to generate a targeted report tailored to the specific task at hand.
