QP-SIA provides facilities to test Data/Strobe signaling manually and automated. QP-SIA implements the 1394 Trade Association Base 1394 Test Suite Definitions required signal integrity tests (Jitter, Skew, Rise/Fall Time). QP-SIA supports multi-port and single port implementations. For automated testing QP-SIA requires MS-Excel (Office 2000 or newer).

QP provides signal integrity/cable power test tools and debug fixtures for IEEE-1394 Data/Strobe (DS) and IEEE-1394b Beta implementation. DS and Beta signaling have drastically different signaling characteristics therefore QP offers specific test tools to meet the requirement of both. Please remember that most 1394b PHY implementations are bilingual, therefore they support both

Data/Strobe and Beta signaling. To insure your implementation meets all requirements both DS and Beta signaling should be tested.
