The Agilent/Keysight 3776A PCM Terminal Test Set is a specialized instrument for comprehensive performance evaluation of Pulse Code Modulation systems and equipment operating within CEPT/CCITT networks. It performs analog and digital interlacing measurements across voice, PCM, and data applications, supporting A-A, A-D, D-A, and D-D measurement modes with 30/31 channel voice test capability. The instrument interfaces via VF (Voice Frequency) and PCM connections, enabling multiplexer testing to CCITT Recommendations G.712 through G.714. Optional datacom measurements (Option 001) extend functionality to CCITT “O” Series Recommendations for telecommunications conformance testing. Direct output to printer or plotter supports efficient documentation and reporting workflows.
