Keysight Technologies MIL-STD 1553 Eye-diagram Mask Testing Application Note Introduction Eye-diagram mask testing is used in a broad range of today's serial bus applications. An eye-diagram is basically an overlay of all bits captured by the scope to show when bits are valid and not valid. This provides a composite picture of the overall quality of a system's physical layer characteristics, which includes amplitude variations possibly due to transmission line affects, reflections, system noise, over-shoot, ringing, signal edge timing, and jitter. Eye-diagram mask testing can be performed on differential MIL- STD 1553 signals using the Keysight Technologies, Inc. 3000, 4000 or 6000 X-Series oscilloscope licensed with the DSOX3AERO/ DSOX4AERO/DSOX6AERO triggering and decode option (MIL-STD 1553 & ARINC 429), along with the DSOX3MASK/DSOX4MASK/ DSOX6MASK mask test option. Various MIL-STD 1553 mask files can be downloaded from Keysight's website at no charge. Save the appropriate MIL-STD 1553 mask files to your personal USB memory stick and then insert the memory stick into the scope's front-panel USB port. The following MIL-STD 1553 mask files are available:
