Abstract
A test system for testing a device under test that includes several communication lanes is described. The test system is a communication lane test system that includes a measurement instrument and a connecting interface for connecting the device under test, wherein the connecting interface is configured to connect at least two of the several communication lanes with the measurement instrument. The measurement instrument includes s a processor being configured to conduct an automatic conformance test on the at least two communication lanes concurrently. Moreover, a method for testing a device under test that includes s several communication lanes is described.
Claims16
A test system for testing a device under test that comprises several communication lanes, the test system being a communication lane test system that comprises:
- a measurement instrument and a connecting interface for connecting the device under test, the connecting interface being configured to connect at least two of the several communication lanes with the measurement instrument, and the measurement instrument comprising a processor being configured to conduct an automatic conformance test on the at least two communication lanes concurrently, wherein the processor is configured to conduct the automatic conformance test on the at least two communication lanes individually, wherein the connecting interface comprises a switch being configured to selectively connect at least two of the several communication lanes with the measurement instrument.
A method for testing a device under test that comprises several communication lanes, comprising the following steps:
- providing a measurement instrument and a device under test with several communication channels;
- selectively connecting at least two of the several communication channels to the measurement instrument via a switch of a connecting interface;
- and
- conducting an automatic conformance test on the several communication lanes concurrently via the measurement instrument, wherein the automatic conformance test is conducted on the several communication lanes individually.
