Test OOB-01 Variables

OOB Amplitude Calibration Mode

This variable only applies when the PeRT

3

is used. It allows the user to choose to run the automatic calibration of

the OOB amplitude or to use values set in the PeRT3 High and Low Amplitude variables. The default value is
Wizard Measured.

PeRT3 High Amplitude

PeRT3 Low Amplitude

These variables allow the user to specify the PeRT

3

amplitude setting to use when running the OOB-01 High and

Low threshold tests. They are used when

the “OOB Amplitude Calibration Mode” variable is set to Custom. There

is no default value for these variables.

Test RSG-01

– RSG-06 Variables

Test Time (in minutes)

This allows the user to specify how long the receiver tests should run. The default values are 10 minutes for the
1.5Gb/s tests (RSG-01, RSG-05 and RSG-06), 5 minutes for the 3.0Gb/s test (RSG-02) and 2.5 minutes for the
6.0Gb/s test (RSG-03).

QPHY-SATA Limit Sets

Gen1i

Contains the limits designated in the SATA specification for products running at 1.5Gb/s.

Gen2i

Contains the limits designated in the SATA specification for products running at 3.0Gb/s.

Gen3

Contains the limits designated in the SATA specification for products running at 6.0Gb/s.

QPHY-SATA Test Descriptions

QualiPHY SATA covers the tests defined by the SATA-IO Interoperability Program appropriate for real-time
oscilloscopes. The Interoperability Program defines the tests in the Unified Test Document (UTD) available at:

http://www.sata-io.org/testing.asp

The UTD includes electrical tests as well as digital and mechanical tests. The electrical test groups covered by
QualiPHY are Physical Layer general requirements (PHY), PHY Transmitted Signal requirements (TSG),
and PHY Out Of Band requirements (OOB). In the following sections each of the tests is described followed by
an example output from a QualiPHY report.

Note: For more details about any of the tests please consult the LeCroy PHY, TSG, OOB Method of Implementation (MOI) document, as well
as the SATA-IO Unified Test Document and the SATA specification.
