Teledyne LeCroy SDA III-CompleteLinQ - Manual (Page 16)

SDAIII-CompleteLinQ Software
The minimum configuration requirement is to:
l
Set up a signal
l
Set up either a Reference Clock or Clock Recovery
If you have access to Eye Doctor II, you can optionally set up any Emphasis , Emulation/De-embedding of
fixtures , or Equalization you wish to apply to the lane before taking measurements.
You'll also want to set up the Eye , Jitter , Noise , and Crosstalk measurements to be used for analysis.
Return to the SDA Framework dialog at any time by touching/clicking the SDA tab.
Copying Configurations
An efficient approach is to complete the entire configuration for one lane then use the Copy Lane feature
on the SDA Framework dialog to copy that configuration to other lanes. You can then make unique set-
tings by activating the desired Lane and touching the appropriate box in the flow to open the cor-
responding configuration dialog.
Signal Input vs. Quick View
Signal configuration can be done either via the Signal Input dialog or the pop-up Quick View window.
However, any configurations already made on the Signal Input dialog will be replaced by configurations
made in the Quick View.
Synchronized vs. Independently Configurable Settings
Some settings will be synchronized across all lanes, either for simplicity or to ensure that it is straight-
forward to compare results.
l
Selections related to the display of results are synchronized across lanes—for example, wave-
forms, histograms, spectra and measurements. Waveforms and other plots for a given lane are
placed in a unique frame. See
LaneScape Comparison Mode .
l
Several other key settings are synchronized, including:
l
Jitter Calculation Method (Jitter Parameters dialog)
l
Eye Saturation (Eye Diagram dialog)
l
Vertical Eye Scales (Eye dialog)
l
Eye Style (Eye Diagram dialog)
l
IsoBER start/stop/step (Eye Diagram dialog)
l
log10BER (Jitter Parameters dialog)
l
Repeating Pattern mode (Pattern Analysis dialog)
