Now available from the University of New Hampshire InterOperability Laboratory (UNH-IOL), the QualiPhyer physical layer analysis software tool can help with conformance testing and works with MIPI Fast Ethernet and Gigabit Ethernet protocols.

UNH-IOL is an independent test facility that provides interoperability and standards conformance testing for networking, telecommunications, data storage, and consumer technology products. QualiPhyer is a family of software packages used to test a product’s conformance to IEEE 802.3 and MIPI Alliance electrical and optical standards.

These packages can be used to control oscilloscopes and traffic generators over Ethernet or GPIB connections to test the physical layer characteristics of devices.

The software processes waveforms from the scopes to produce results based on algorithms developed at the UNH-IOL.

The QualiPhyer platform provides measurements using T&M equipment from multiple providers including Anritsu, Keysight, Rohde & Schwarz, Tektronix, and Teledyne Lecroy.
