KS6800A Series PathWave Measurement Analytics Software

KS6800A Series PathWave

Measurement Analytics Software

Introduction

The Keysight Technologies, Inc. PathWave Measurement Analytics software provides an interface that allows users to import their test data to a data repository server. It protects the data repository server from data corruption and allows version control. It also allows for a simple interface which abstracts away the implementation details. The KS6810 Data Analytics Web Service software supports multiple data sources and a wide range of data import clients. The second component of KS6810A is the visualization tool. The KS6810A provides histogram, waveform plots and other modern test and measurement visualization tools with filter and split capabilities to enable data analysis.

Features

• Supports multiple data sources:

o Keysight software products (i.e FlexDCA, compliance application software, ADS simulation software)

o Keysight test equipment measurement result

o Non-Keysight data sources (measurement result from multiple vendor test equipment or customized data source from user test environment)

• Supports a wide range of clients for data import:

o Infiniium compliance software framework

o Web import tool for different file format (i.e CSV, JSON)

o Import program (i.e C#, Python, JAVA)

• Data can be retrieved for real time analysis with the visualization tool.

• Supports data analytics features:

o Explain capability to correlate data with meta data.

o Guided data analytics workflow to highlight root cause of outliers.

o Data overlay to enable benchmarking against user defined baseline distribution

Setting up the KS6810A PathWave Measurement Analytics Software

The user would set up a web server that hosts the KS6810A Data Analytics Web Service software and a data repository server that hosts the data repository infrastructure. The user can use any data repository infrastructure such as MySQL, SQL Server, Microsoft SQL, Oracle or other data repository management system. It is recommended that the web and data repository servers are setup separately to ensure scalability, performance and data repository security. The user is responsible to provide backup, restore and replication of the data repository server. It is recommended that the user set up the servers through their Information Technology (IT) department.

Data Sources and Data Import

The KS6810A PathWave Measurement Analytics software enables users to upload test results from other sources to the data repository. The data source can come from Keysight test equipment such as the oscilloscopes. The software also supports non-Keysight test equipment measurement data as well as other user defined measurement methods. The user would collect the measurement result and save it into a .CSV format. Users can use the Web CSV import tool to import the data to the repository. The .CSV data import tool allows users to specify the number of measurements and properties available in the .CSV format test result. If the user chooses not to use .CSV format, the KS6810A software includes C#, Python and other programming languages reference applications to help the user script a customized data import tool.

Keysight compliance software use model

The KS6810A PathWave Measurement Analytics software allows the user to import the test result from the Keysight compliance test software. The user would first configure the compliance application software, run the tests and then export the test result to the data repository.
