Protocol Triggering and Decoding
Software (Opt. PTD)
Easily decode 8b/10b and other encoded
serial data streams, and set desired
encoded words for the serial pattern
trigger to capture. 8b/10b decoding on
data rates over 10 GB/s is possible on
the TDS6000C models. Option PTD
recovers the clock signal, identifies the
transitions, decodes the characters and
other protocol data. The TDS6000C
models can trigger on up to four consec-
utive 10-bit words or specified error
conditions at data rates up to
3.125 Gb/s. And you can see the
captured bit sequences decoded into
their words for convenient analysis.
Unparalleled Analysis
Waveform data analysis can take many
forms. Whether it’s a simple math expres-
sion, waveform mask testing, a pass/fail
compliance test, or a custom application
that you develop, the TDS6000B/C
Series offer the industry’s most compre-
hensive set of analysis and compliance
tools.
Built-in Analysis Tools
Standard tools built into the TDS6000
offer a wide range of analysis capabilities
including Cursors, Measurements, Math
Equation Editor, Serial Data
Communications Mask Testing (with Opt.
SM), and Spectrum Analysis.
