Unigraf’s  DisplayPort™ Test Equipment Support PHY Testing with Agilent Technologies’ Oscilloscopes and J-BERT N4903B (Bit Error Ratio Tester)

Unigraf is expanding the use of its DisplayPort™ Reference Source and Reference Sink test equipment to include automated physical layer (PHY) testing of Display Port™ connected devices. The new AUX Controller feature for all Unigraf’s DisplayPort™ test equipment provides the full compatibility for automated testing with Agilent Technologies source and sink test solutions featuring the Agilent DSO90000A series oscilloscopes and the J-BERT N4903B  using the U7232B and N5990A test automation software packages.

The automated DisplayPort™ PHY testing enabled with Agilent Technologies test equipment and Unigraf AUX Controllers will deliver the validation engineer consistent results over time and enable unattended test of DisplayPort devices thus doubling engineer productivity..The compact size of Unigraf test equipment additionally provides a real advance with its versatility and ease of use.

Continuing Unigraf’s aim for multi-use of its test equipment the AUX Controller feature will be available as a straightforward firmware upgrade to Unigraf’s existing DisplayPort™ test equipment. With the two alternative firmware options the users are able to utilize their equipment either in Link Layer and HDCP compliance testing or now also in Physical Layer testing.

“Unigraf is honored to work with Agilent Technologies,” says Juha Saarinen, Unigraf’s Marketing Director. “We are very pleased to use our DisplayPort™ know-how to help Agilent Technologies make DisplayPort™ PHY testing even more user friendly and productive. The new feature will also enable our customers to have a wider use for their test equipment investment.”

In order to make the change to the new API straightforward to the existing users Unigraf maintains a legacy function set in it. The software written for the legacy functions is fully compatible with the version 3.0 with minimal changes to the project.

Most changes to the new UFG Software Package are transparent to users of the graphical user interface UFG Console. A limitation for Windows 7 users is that HDCP encrypted content cannot be previewed with this version of UFG Console.

DP Source Console is a development and debug tool for VTG-5225 DP pattern generator and DPT-200 compact sized reference source. Unigraf DisplayPort™ Compliance Testing (CTS) Tools are qualified by VESA and DCP LLC for use as Authorized Test Tools for DisplayPort™ Link Layer and HDCP compliance testing for DP Certified logo. The qualification applies to the full range of Unigraf equipment for both Sink and Source testing. The new relesed version of the CTS tool is not yet certified for ATC use.

UFG-05 series is widely used in applications where the user appreciates the flexibility of using both DVI / HDMI, analog RGB / YPbPr or S-Video / Composite with a single capturing board to save slots in the PC. UFG-05 series provides additionally the flexibility of offering the same features with alternative PCI bus configurations. This satisfies either the request for compatibility to legacy PCI interface or the need for high speed PCI-Express buses.

The new driver package can be downloaded at Unigraf download page. If you have any questions about UFG-05 frame grabber family or the new drivers, please contact Unigraf Support.

The release packages can be downloaded from Unigraf ftp site. The release for UFG-04 DP, and DPR-100 can be found here and for VTG-5225 DP and DPT-200 can be found here. They include also tests compliant with earlier version of the CTS test standard.
