  • Publication number: 20230408551
    Abstract: A system includes an input for accepting an input signal from a Device Under Test (DUT), a measurement unit for generating first measurement data and second measurement data from the input signal, and one or more processors configured to derive at least one principal component from the first and second measurement data using principal component analysis, and remap the first measurement data and the second measurement data to a principal component domain derived from the at least one principal component. Methods of operation and description of storage media, the operation of which performs the above operations, are also described.

  • Publication number: 20230409451
    Abstract: A system includes an input for accepting a dataset including at least two sets of data in a dataset domain and one or more processors configured to derive at least two principal components from the dataset using principal component analysis, the at least two principal components being orthogonal to one another, map the dataset to a principal component domain derived from the at least two principal components, generate additional data in the principal component domain, and remap the additional data in the principal component domain back to the dataset domain as a newly generated dataset. Methods of operation and description of storage media, the operation of which performs the above operations, are also described.

  • Publication number: 20230222382
    Abstract: A system to develop and test machine learning models has a waveform emulator machine learning system, a user interface to allow a user to input one or more design parameters for the waveform emulator machine learning system, one or more processors configured to execute code to cause the one or more processors to: send the one or more design parameters to the waveform emulator machine learning system; receive one or more data sets from the waveform emulator machine learning system, the one or more data sets based on the one or more design parameters; train a developed machine learning model using at least one of the one or more data sets, resulting in a trained machine learning model; validate the trained machine learning model using a previously unused one of the one or more data sets; adjust the trained machine learning model as needed; and repeat the training, validating, and adjusting until an optimal machine learning model is trained.

  • Publication number: 20230057479
    Abstract: A device for generating waveforms includes a machine learning system configured to associate waveforms from a device under test to parameters, a user interface configured to allow a user to provide one or more user inputs, and one or more processors configured to execute code that causes the one or more processors to receive one or more inputs through the user interface that include one or more parameters, apply the machine learning system to the received one or more parameters, produce, by the machine learning system, a waveform based on the one or more parameters, and output the produced waveform. Methods of generating waveforms are also presented.

  • Publication number: 20230019734
    Abstract: A test and measurement instrument has a user interface configured to allow a user to provide one or more user inputs, a display to display results to the user, a memory, one or more processors configured to execute code to cause the one or more processors to receive a waveform array containing waveforms resulting from sweeping one or more parameters from a set of parameters, recover a clock signal from the waveform array, generate a waveform image for each waveform, render the waveform images into video frames to produce an image array of the video frames, select at least some of the video frames to form a video sequence, and play the video sequence on a display.

  • Publication number: 20220390515
    Abstract: A test and measurement system includes a machine learning system configured to communicate with a test automation system, a user interface configured to allow a user to provide one or more user inputs and to provide results to the user, and one or more processors, the one or more processors configured to execute code that causes the one or more processors to receive one or more user inputs through the user interface, the one or more user inputs at least identifying a selected machine learning system configuration to be used to configure the machine learning system, receive a waveform created by operation of a device under test, apply the configured machine learning system to analyze the waveform, and provide an output of predicted metadata about the waveform.
