SATA Test Fixture

Test fixtures are required to connect the signal under test to the oscilloscope running the QPHY-SATA software. A
fixture kit is available from LeCroy (part number TF-SATA-C) that consists of the test fixture, four 30-inch cables
with SMA connectors, 2 6dB attenuators and a multiwrench tool. They provide a means to probe the product
under test via a standard SMA connector interface. The same fixture is compatible with Gen1, Gen2 and Gen3
standards.

The variable Test Fixture specifies the type of fixture used so that the corresponding connections are shown. By
default the script is set to use the LeCroy TF-SATA-C test fixture, it can be changed to use the TF-SATA test
fixture.
