Improve accuracy and precision of USB4 Receiver Calibration (TP3' and TP3) and Tests with Tektronix automation software. The software removes the complexity of receiver testing with a step-by-step user interface, that has been designed by industry leaders engaged in the standards bodies to drive the latest specifications to maturity. Industry engagement ensures our software will evolve in step with the technology. Achieving the correct balance of simplicity and user control, has been at the forefront of the design team to ensure your device can complete the correctly calibrated stress and perform efficiently with optimized PHY settings.
Applications
USB4 (10 Gbps and 20 Gbps)
- One click option to complete entire calibration in both TP3’ and TP3
- Option to view summary after key calibration steps

TP3’ Calibration
The TP3’ is mandatory for all devices to ensure tolerances are met at the defined reference plane. Tektronix USB4 Receiver Test wizard will guide the user through all the necessary steps as per the specification requirements to ensure future calibration steps complete with ease. Some of the test parameters are used in TP3 calibration that is needed to complete the stressed eye tests.
