Agilent N6462A DDR4 compliance test application is for systems using double-data-rate 4 memory. Can accelerate turn-on and debug of DDR4 systems by automating the execution of physical layer tests. Uses four high-bandwidth oscilloscope channels. DDR4 dynamic random-access memory technology with high-bandwidth interface operates at a max. of 1.2 volts and can achieve a data transfer rate of up to 3.2 giga transfers per sec. Is designed for high-end computing applications. Application provides automated clock, electrical and timing tests. Automatically configures oscilloscope for each test and generates an HTML report at the end of the test. Report compares results with specified test limit and indicates how closely the device passes or fails each test. Can debug signal integrity issues using N6462A software in conjunction with InfiniiScan multichannel and multizone triggering features.

Verios XHR scanning electron microscopy (SEM) provides sub-nanometer resolution and enhanced contrast. Advanced optics reportedly deliver impressive sensitivity to surface detail at low kV. Users may switch quickly between various operating conditions, maintain sample cleanliness, and obtain sub-nanometer resolution at any accelerating voltage from 1 kV to 30 kV. Optimized signal collection and advanced filtering abilities provide higher, more flexible contrast generation, and a greater range of samples to be investigated. Many beam-sensitive or non-conductive materials can now be accurately observed at the nanoscale, without preparation.
