Features to Optimize Your Manufacturing Test

Signaling test capability to streamline manufacturing test flow

The IOT8700 Series enables users to perform signaling test without the need to develop chipset specific driver to control or programming the device into test mode. Manufacturers can easily execute the transmitter and receiver tests by flashing the current firmware on the device under test. This helps manufacturer eliminate the process of switching device under test into test mode for testing and reflash with final firmware once testing is passed. With the streamlined test flow, manufacturers save time and effort on testing as they perform measurements under actual operation mode to ensure device quality.

Channel 37 Channel 38 Channel 39

Transmitter power -8.98 dBm -9.10 dBm -9.45 dBm

Receiver PER 10.37% 11.29% 8.71%

Active Scan mode is optimized for fast manufacturing test whereby transmitter and receiver tests over all three advertising channels are possible to be completed within 10 seconds. The Active Scan mode provides measurements for the advertising channels at low, mid, and high frequency channels ensuring the device performance over the entire Bluetooth frequency bands.
For BLE data channel measurements, it is possible to configure the IOT8700 Series to Connected Mode to enable transmitter and receiver measurements for any of the data channels. This is normally used for device characterization or troubleshooting as it takes longer time to complete the test.

True multidevice parallel test configuration for Bluetooth® Low Energy Devices
The IOT8740A IoT wireless multidevice test solution is the industry's first solution to enable true parallel testing for both transmitter and receiver tests in signaling mode. It is possible to test up to four devices in parallel with all of them transmitting and receiving concurrently and being placed in the same shielding box. With tight timing alignment between the radio subsystem and RF power detection subsystem in the tester, it is possible to monitor all incoming RF packets using the RF detection subsystem, and correlate each of the packets with the DUT MAC address decoded from the radio subsystem to provide TX and RX measurements for all DUT in parallel. Through this innovative measurement algorithm, manufacturers can now save test time close to 4 times.

Built-in pass-fail limit check and result log for manufacturing test
The built-in pass-fail limit check enables faster test time with the ability to catch up with the transmission rate of the DUT. The theoretical tester speed can be estimated as the number of packets multiplies with the advertising interval plus some overhead time to process the data. Production throughput and manufacturing test time can be optimized by the capability of parallel testing and faster test speed. Sample test plans are provided in the XA8723A IoT signaling measurement suite for single and multidevice configurations, along with pass-fail limit check and results logging capability. Manufacturing engineers can save test development and testing time by leveraging and modifying the test plans and test sequence provided.

Features for Design Validation Tests
Advertising interval and throughput measurements
Some BLE devices may have variable advertising interval. The IOT8700 Series will enable user to measure the advertising interval during the advertising events (active or passive scanning) and monitor the trend in a graph view to have better understanding of the advertising events. It is also possible to perform data throughput measurement of the advertising data or the scan response data.
For WLAN devices, the throughput measurements are performed using iPerf methodology in the IOT8700 Series. It enables user to set to various WLAN settings and measure the actual achievable throughput from the connections. It is the number of bits of real data transmitted per unit of total transmission time, typically expressed in kilobits per second (kbps).
Deep radio control capability
With deep radio control capability, it is possible to use IOT8700 Series as a companion device to control the DUT to transmit and receive in various operation modes, and perform a comprehensive transmitter, receiver, and throughput analysis. This is especially useful for designer or test engineers to fully characterize the device performance under various modulations, bandwidth, and channel settings. Test lab or compliance testing engineers able to use IOT8700 Series as a signaling unit during regulatory compliance testing to simplify PER tests at various blocking conditions. Significant saving in setup and testing time is possible since there is no need to develop the individual chipset specific driver.
Transmitter RF power envelope display capability
The turn-on behaviors of IoT devices may vary. Some IoT devices will not advertise immediately upon turned on. Some devices will advertise at high power level for a short duration before reducing the transmit power to the minimum to save battery life. While other devices may have variable advertising intervals. The transmitter RF power envelope display capability will come in handy to have better understanding of the device transmitting behavior to improve the measurement accuracy or repeatability and troubleshoot any connection issues with the instrument.

Connection, pairing and bonding check
Bonding is the exchange of long-term keys after pairing occurs and storing those keys for later use. It is the creation of permanent security between devices. Pairing is the mechanism that allows bonding to occur. Bonding will enable the devices to reconnect to each other in subsequent connections without repeating the pairing process.

Connection
The process where a central device is connected to a peripheral device and both can communicate regularly at predetermined interval.

Pairing
The process for creating one or more shared secret keys to encrypt the link.

Bonding
The act of storing the keys created during pairing for use in subsequent connections to form a trusted device pair.

Figure 5. BLE connection, pairing and bonding

IOT8700 Series will enable designers to verify the ability of the device to connect, pair and bond, to ensure that these security features are being implemented properly in the device.

Service discovery and UUID read-write

Figure 6. GATT profile example of a heart rate service
UUID (Universally Unique Identifier), it identifies a service provided by a Bluetooth device. The IOT8700 Series can perform UUID service discovery to identify all the supported UUIDs, the handles values and permissions. If the permission is set as write-able, user can overwrite a specific UUID and its values. This feature is very useful for manufacturer to retrieve certain data from the device (example: battery level) or program specific data to the device (example: manufacturing data, serial number) over-the-air without hardwire connection. This feature only works on BLE devices supporting Connected Mode.

Features for Regulatory Compliance Tests
Major regulatory bodies like FCC or ETSI require all IoT devices to pass spectrum regulatory testing before the product can gain global market entry. Regulatory testing requirements are complex and vary between countries, so IoT device makers depend on compliance test labs to conduct the tests to prove that the device is compliant with global radio standards and regulations. As a compliance lab engineer, you are responsible for testing a diverse array of devices from many manufacturers, with each using different radio formats and radio chipsets. This can be a complex and time-consuming process, especially when you don't have access to control drivers for the device-under-test.
The IOT8700 Series IoT wireless test can be used as the companion or signaling device for regulatory compliance testing.
Simplify receiver blocking or PER tests
The IOT8700 Series' deep radio control capability allows the tester to remotely control the DUT to transmit and receive in different normal operation modes, such as by frequency channel, modulation bandwidth or data rate. Instead of painstakingly writing your own DUT control driver or having to return to your customer for it ­ which they may not have ­ you can remotely control the tester and the DUT with the PathWave-based software or through SCPI commands. This test automation saves you days or even weeks of driver development work and allows you to perform receiver blocking tests or PER tests through a signaling connection with the DUT.
Cover the most used radio formats at an affordable cost
The IOT8700 Series offers multi-format signaling test capability so you can perform tests for Bluetooth Low Energy 4.2, 5.0, 5.1, 5.2 and WLAN 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac with just one solution.
Traceable and accurate measurement results
The IOT8700 Series' output signals and input power measurements are fully calibrated in the factory and referenced to a RF power meter with low measurement uncertainty. The measurements are traceable to national metrology institutes.
