The Agilent/Keysight E1610A is a single-slot C-size VXI module that generates and analyzes ATM cell streams at 34 Mb/s (E3) line rates. Operating within the Agilent E4200/E4210 Broadband Series Test System, it delivers test capabilities at both physical and ATM cell layers across multiple framing standards.

– Key Features
Traffic Generation
• Generates normal and abnormal test traffic with on-demand erroneous pattern insertion for protocol robustness validation
• Protocol data unit builder with sequencing and library functions for complex traffic creation
• One foreground channel plus up to 100 background channels for loading simulation
Measurement Capabilities
• Bit rate error testing using PRBS patterns within cells
• PRBS error detection and analysis with trigger capability
• Cell delay, interarrival time, and loss measurements via cell timestamp insertion
Traffic Capture and Playback
• Continuous capture with memory buffer lapping or event-triggered modes
• Automated decoding with English-language display output
• Filtered and triggered capture support
– Typical Applications
R&D engineering, product development, quality assurance, performance testing, type approval, and conformance testing for high-speed ATM transmission and protocol validation.
