The Keysight M1002A is a rack-mountable PC controller that optimizes measurement throughput and reduces setup time in high-speed electronic test environments. It orchestrates multiple DCA-M oscilloscopes and clock recovery modules to efficiently share instruments across multiple DUT fixtures, enabling parallel testing of 800G and 1.6T modules without hardware duplication. Operating under Keysight FlexOTO and FlexDCA software, the M1002A supports critical PAM4 measurements including 25/53 GBd OER, OOMA, and TDECQ characterization.
