ElectronicsAgilent N8815A Ethernet 10Gbase-KR decode application works with firm’s Infiniium Series oscilloscope to decode in real time, enabling teams to develop higher-quality products more quickly. The application portfolio with Ethernet 64b/66b protocol decoding and triggering software, used primarily in today’s data networking and transmissions technologies. FibreChannel, Ethernet, and Infiniband are just a few of the technologies that benefit from 64b/66b’s lower overhead. The software assists designers of the 10Gbase-KR and 40Gbase-KR technology defined as IEEE 802.3, which operates over backplane lanes. The new application takes advantage of Infiniium’s recently released multiple serial decoding and searching, allowing designers to look at four lanes at once.
