Functional Role & Application Analysis
The WAVECREST DTS-2079 is a specialized communication signal analyzer designed for high-speed characterization of semiconductor devices and data communication equipment. It solves the critical engineering challenge of accurately measuring ultra-low jitter and precise timing parameters in high-frequency circuits. With femtosecond-level hardware resolution, this unit allows design and test engineers to comprehensively analyze phase, propagation delay, rise/fall times, and cycle jitter components.
Typical use cases include:
- Semiconductor Characterization: Evaluating the timing integrity and jitter performance of new high-speed chips and ICs during the R&D phase.
- High-Speed Datacom Testing: Validating the signal quality and clock stability of 3.2 Gbps communication equipment and backplanes.
- ATE Integration: Operating synchronously or asynchronously to bridge the gap between bench-top characterization and final automated production testing.
Our Quality Standard & Testing Process
We understand that the cost of an unreliable test instrument is far greater than its purchase price. We have established a rigorous, multi-stage testing process to ensure every DTS-2079 unit we ship is 100% functional. Our testing validates not just basic power-on, but the actual precision measurement capabilities of the hardware.
- Visual & Component Inspection: All units undergo professional cleaning and visual inspection. We verify the integrity of all RF/BNC connectors and check the chassis for any signs of physical damage or prior repair.
- Live System Test: The DTS-2079 is powered on and run through its internal self-diagnostics to verify stable operation, accurate timebase stability, and proper front-panel interface response.
- Full-Function Diagnostics: We validate the core measurement engine by verifying the hardware resolution, input range accuracy, and the ability to correctly parse and format waveform data arrays.
- Warranty Backing: Only parts that pass all diagnostic tests are approved for shipment and backed by our full 12-month warranty.

Compatibility & Migration Paths
To ensure this WAVECREST DTS-2079 is 100% compatible with your test environment, you must check these key compatibility points. Failure to verify this is a common project risk that can halt your production line.
- Software & Driver Support: Confirm your PC or ATE controller has the necessary VISA drivers and instrument drivers (such as DTS207x.fp) installed to communicate with this specific hardware revision.
- Data Format Compatibility: The unit returns waveform data in ANSI/IEEE std 754-1985 format. Ensure your parsing software is configured to handle Motorola or Intel byte-ordering correctly.
- Replacement & Alternatives: If your application requires a higher frequency range (up to 1.3 GHz) but lower max data rate, verify if the DTS-2077 variant meets your needs before upgrading to the 2079.
